Question: A well insulated piston-cylinder system contains 5 liter of saturated liquid water. The piston has a diameter and mass of 0.30 m and 15 kg respectively. The system is placed at an area where the atmospheric pressure is at 86 kPa. The water is stirred by a paddle wheel while a current of 10A flows for 45 min through a resistor placed in the water. (a) Determine the initial pressure of the water (b) Determine the initial mass of the water in the cylinder. (c) If one -half of the liquid is evaporated during this constant-pressure process and the paddle-wheel work amounts to 300 kJ, determine the voltage of the source. (d)Determine the final volume of the water.

Answer:

Given data: 

The initial volume , The atmospheric pressure and mass of the piston .

(a) Initial pressure




(b) From property table of water, specific volume of saturated water at 88.082 kPa is,

and therefore mass of the water is,



(c) Quality or dryness fraction (x) = 0.5 and from property table of water at    ,

Specific internal energy  

Here, work done on system   and according to the first law of the thermodynamics,



Thus, the required voltage (V) = 175.818 watt.

(d) Specific volume at x = 0.5 and P =88.802 kPa is,
and thus, final volume is,

Differences between Ideal and Real Fluids

-
  Fluids are substances that flow and take the shape of their container. In physics, fluids can be idealized as either ideal or real. The difference between these two types of fluids lies in their behavior and properties. Ideal Fluids Ideal fluids are theoretical fluids that possess perfect fluidity. They are characterized by the following properties: Inviscid: Ideal fluids have zero viscosity and do not experience friction. Incompressible: Ideal fluids have a constant density and do not change volume under pressure. Continuity: Ideal fluids follow the principle of continuity, which states that the volume flow rate remains constant at all points in a pipe or channel. Real Fluids Real fluids, on the other hand, are actual fluids that exist in the real world. They have properties that differ from ideal fluids and include: Viscosity: Real fluids have viscosity and experience friction when they flow. Compressibility: Real fluids have varying densities and change volume under pressure. ...

Question: A car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 10m/s² from an initial velocity of 36km/hr for 30s. What is the covered distance during this period? Answer: Given data: Acceleration of the car (a) = 10 m/s², Initial velocity of the car (u) = 36 km/h Time of travelling (t) = 30 s Step-1 To covert velocity in m/s from km/h. As we know that 1 km/h = 1000/3600 m/s Therefore, Step-2 To determine distance travelled by the car within t = 30 s. According to the equation of the constant acceleration motion. Distance travelled by the car can be written as,   Thus, the car will travel through 4800 m within 30 seconds.
