Is it possible to compress air adabatically from kPa, 15^oC, to (a) 200 kPa, 30^oC ? (b) 200 kPa, 105^oC ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Yes it is possible to compress air adabatically

Temperature of the air decreases the pressure also decreases

The temperature of the air increases the pressure also increase

Because air contains number of gas molecules

So it contains polyatomic Nature

Degrees of freedom value r=4/3

According to the concept of kinetic theory of gases

Therefore the air is not compress in both cases because the temperature increases

One way to store a lot of energy is to compress air in a large cave. The air starts at the corner marked by the black dot, where P = 1 atmosphere, V = 1 cave volume (let's choose 1,000,000 cubic meters), and T = 300 K. It is then adiabatically compressed to half the volume by a pump. As the air comes out of the pump it is hotter (how hot? what is the pressure?), but it cools to...

Air is supplied to a convergent–divergent nozzle from a reservoir where the pressure is 100 kPa. The air is then discharged through a short pipe into another reservoir where the pressure can be varied. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is twice the area of the throat of the nozzle. Friction and heat transfer may be neglected throughout the flow. If the discharge pipe has constant cross-sectional area, determine the range of static pressure in the pipe for which a...
