Carbon dioxide at 1 bar, 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 10 bar, 520 K. The CO2 is modeled as an ideal gas, and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the compressor, determine (a) the work input, in kJ per kg of CO2 flowing, (b) the rate of entropy production, in kJ/K per kg of CO2 flowing, and (c) the isentropic compressor efficiency.

Critical mass is the of material required to produce a chain reaction. a.) minimum amount b.) atomic mass c.) precise amount d.) maximum amount

If two parallel light rays hit a mirror, they will not be parallel to each other after they reflect.

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle  can be assumed at 30 deg
