A heat engine operates between a high-temperature reservoir at
610 K and a low-temperature reservoir at 320 K. In one cycle, the
engine absorbs 6800 J of heat from the high-temperature reservoir
and does 2200 J of work.
A) What is the net change in entropy as a result of this
cycle?
For what purposes was heroine originally outlawed? Was it for
medical or for another reason?
Why was heroine nationally outlawed?
Today, our country has a greater opiate and heroin addiction
problem then before the drug war began. From what you have learned
this week, why do you believe the heroine addiction has increased?
Are prescription opiates responsible?
What has been the impact of this on the nation’s War on
Drugs?
Since heroine is much cheaper, easier to obtain, and stronger...
A high carbon steel shaft is used in an engine and subjected to
different loads. In order to
analyse the stress in the shaft, consider a rectangular element
within the material. This
element is subjected to compressive stress of 135 MPa and shear
stress of 166MPa in the
vertical direction. The compressive stress in the horizontal
direction is 176MPa with a shear
stress of 115MPa.
a. Sketch the state of stress on this element.
b. Determine the maximum and minimum...

Explain briefly what excimer lasers are and the reason why they
are used in photorefractive keratectomy, in which the front of the
cornea is sculpted to correct nearsightedness.
-Why is the argon ion laser not a good choice for this
operation?
-Why is the reverse true for laser surgical procedures performed
on the retina?
15. A reversed Carnot engine (refrigeration unit) is used to
maintain the temperature inside a freezer at -34 oC. The
room temperature in which the refrigeration unit operates is a
constant 24 oC. If the motor on the refrigeration unit
uses 0.3 kW, determine the rate at which heat is removed from the
freezer in Watts.

Determine what is the temperature of the hot combustion gas that
is produced in the engine of a butanol (C4H9OH)-burning bus that
uses ambient air for the combustion. Tip: write the balanced
stoichiometric equation for the combustion of butanol assuming air
is composed of 80% N2 and 20% O2 by volume, and derive the energy
balance of the combustion. Atomic weights: C-12, H-1, O-16, N-14.
For butanol: cp = 2 kJ/kg/°C; cv = 1.75 kJ/kg/°C; heat released by
combustion, or...
