Asystem consisting of 2 kg of water initially at 160°c, 10 bar undergoes an internally reversible, isothermal expansion during which there is energy transfer by heat into the system of 1700 kj. determine the final pressure, in bar, and the work by the system, in kj.

The amount of potential energy possessed by an elevated object is equal to what?

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure?
