A corroded metal gusset plate was found on a bridge. It was estimated that the original area of the plate was 750 cm2 and that approximately 2.5 kg had corroded away during use. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 0.5 mm/year for this metal, estimate the time since construction of the bridge. The density of the alloy is 10 g/cm3. HINT: Weight should be entered in MILLIGRAMS.

Air inially occupying a volume of 1 m2 at 100 kpa, 27 c undergoes three internally reversible processes in series. process 1-2 compression to 500 kpa during which pv constant process 2-3 adiabatic expanslon to 100 kpa process 3-1: constant-pressure expansion to 100 kpa (a) calculate the change of entropy for each of the three processes. (b) calculate the heat and work involved in each process. (c) is this cycle a power cycle or refrigeration cycle?
