Exhaust gas leaves the exhaust pipe of a motor car with a pressure of 1.2 bar and a temperature of 4000C. If the exhaust gas specific was 1.6653 m3 per kg, determine the identity of the exhaust gas.
please show the formula used and cancellation of units, if possible include illustration also.
6 kg of a compressible gas in a piston-cylinder loses 193 kJ towards the environment during an isobaric process. Determine the variation in internal energy (U2-U1) in kJ to 1 decimal place. Take the gas specific heat at constant pressure equal to cp=1.1 kJ/(kg K) and the specific heat at constant volume equal to cv=0.8 kJ/(kg K).
The drag force, Fa, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity V is given by Fa= Ca ApV²/2 where Cd is a
