You and your younger brother are designing an air rifle that will shoot a lead pellet with mass m = 1.20 g and cross-sectional area A = 0.0150 cm². The rifle works by allowing high-pressure air to expand, propelling the pellet down the rifle barrel. Because this process happens very quickly, no appreciable thermal conduction occurs and the expansion is essentially adiabatic. Your design is such that, once the pressure begins pushing on the pellet, it moves a distance of L = 40.0 cm before leaving the open end of the rifle at your desired speed of v= 110 m/s. Your design also includes a chamber of volume V = 13.0 cm³ in which the high-pressure air is stored until it is released. Your brother reminds you that you need to purchase a pump to pressurize the chamber. To determine what kind of pump to buy, you need to find what the pressure of the air must be in the chamber (in Pa) to achieve your desired muzzle speed. Ignore the effects of the air in front of the bullet and friction with the inside walls of the barrel. (Assume that air is diatomic.) Pa

6. There is air in the cylinder with the piston. The cross-sectional area of the piston is 5cm, the initial volume is 30cm, the pressure is 1 bar, and the temperature is 20℃. As shown in the picture next, the spring constant of the connected spring is ks=100 N/cm, and it is not deformed initially. By applying heat, the cylinder expands and the pressure in the cylinder becomes 4 bar. Answer the following questions. (hint: The relationship between P and V is straight) (1) Find the final volume (expressed in cm^3). (2) Find the expansion work during this process. (3) Find the amount of heat transfer during this process. Show this process on the P-v diagram
(b) Hairdryer is an electromechanical device that blows ambient or hot air over damp hair to speed the evaporation of water to dry the hair. To design a hairdryer, it should contain the following basic components: a duct of constant diameter with a few layers of electric coils, a small fan to pull the air in and force it through the heating coils. If the density of air is 1.18 kg/m³ at the inlet and 0.90 kg/m³ at the exit, calculate the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the dryer.
The pumping power of the human heart is approximately 2W (assuming a normal cardiac output of 5 liters/min). Like any pump, however, the heart is not 100% efficient, and, therefore, the power that is supplied to the heart muscle will actually exceed 2W. In this question we will estimate the heart’s pumping efficiency η by calculating how much energy is supplied to the heart muscle from the blood.(Note that the heart muscle has its own vasculature, called the coronarycirculation.) (a) When we calculated the pumping power of the heart, we only considered the head gain across the heart from the pressure increase. In general, there could also be changes in elevation (very small) and in kineticenergy. Estimate the ratio of kinetic energy head to pressure head at peaksystole, when pressure is 120 mmHg and blood velocity is 100 cm/s.Can we safely neglect kinetic energy gains in calculating pumpingpower?(b) At rest, the coronary blood flow is 225 ml/min, and 65% of the O2 isremoved from the…
Please show your complete solution. Thank you! A fluid of 700 kPa with a specific volume of 0.025m^3 and a velocity of 175 m/sec enters a device. Heat loss from the device by radiation is 23 kJ/ kg. The work done by the fluid is 465 kJ/ kg. The fluid exits at 136 kPa and 0.94 m^3/kg and 335 m/sec. What is the change of internal energy?
In a cooling tower, it is known that the water inlet temperature is 43 ° C, the water outlet temperature is 21 ° C, and the water flow rate is 600 L / h. Calculate the heat given by the water to the air by taking these values into account. (Cp water = 4.18kj / (kg ° K))

A fan with 22-in-diameter blades moves 1800 cfm (cubic feet per minute) of air at 70°F at sea level. Determine the following: The force required to hold the fan. The minimum power input required for the fan Choose a control volume sufficiently large to contain the fan, with the inlet sufficiently far upstream so that the gage pressure at the inlet is nearly zero. Assume air approaches the fan through a large area with negligible velocity and air exits the fan with a uniform velocity at atmospheric pressure through an imaginary cylinder whose diameter is the fan blade diameter.
The fridge could be made to operate in the reverse mode, extracting 80 kJ of heat every second from a hot environment (say steam at 100 0C ), converting some of this energy to useful work (e.g. electrical energy) and then dumping the rest as heat to the surrounding air at 30 0C. What is the minimum amount of heat per second that has to be dumped to the air? Using your answer to part (e), show that the maximum useful work that we can hope to obtain from this operation is around 15 kW (i.e. show that the efficiency of this machine is only 15/80 = 18.7 %). Why can’t the efficiency of this machine ever be 100 % (i.e. why can’t we hope to design an engine that converts all of the extracted 80 kJ/s of heat completely to work)?
