These are Heat engine questions:
1. what do you expect to happen to the pressure and volume of the closed system of air that has a 200g mass on top of it when you heat up the air inside the system? explain you're reasoning.
2. what do you expect to happen to the pressure and volume of the closed system of air that is still heated as you remove the 200g Masson top of the piston? Explain you're reasoning.
3. do you expect a closed system air to return to the original pressure and volume when the heat is removed? explain your reasoning.

One kg mole of an ideal gas is compressed isothermally at 127°C from 1 atm to 10 atm in a piston-and-cylinder arrangement. Calculate the entropy change of the gas, the entropy change of the surroundings, and the total energy change resulting from the process, if: (a) the process is mechanically reversible and the surroundings consist of a heat reservoir at 127°C. (b) the process is mechanically reversible and the surroundings consist of a heat reservoir at 27°C. (c) the process is mechanically irreversible, requiring 20% more work than the mechanically reversible compression, and the surroundings consist of a heat reservoir at 27°C.

(a)Air, which can be assumed to behave as an ideal gas, undergoes a process from 150kPa and 400K to 600kPa and 500K within a piston cylinder. Can this process occur adiabatically? (Think about what the limitations on ???? are to answer this question). (b)Now consider air which is compressed in an air compressor adiabatically from 150kPa and 400K to 1000K and 600kPa. It enters the air compressor with a mass flow rate of 1kg/s. Determine the rate of entropy produced during the process in ??j/(s*k)

1) A four-stroke diesel engine has a piston diameter of 16.5 cm and a stroke of 27 cm. The compression ratio is 14.3, the cut-off 4.23% of the stroke and the mean effective pressure 4.12 bar. The engine speed is 264 rev/min and the fuel consumption is 1.076 kg of oil per hour, having a calorific value of 39150 kJ/kg. Calculate the relative efficiency of the engine 2). A diesel engine has a brake thermal efficiency of 30%. If the calorific value of fuel used in 10000 kcal kg, calculate the brake specific fuel consumption

Consider a light, single-engine, propeller-driven, private airplane, approximately modeled after the Cessna T-41A. The characteristics of the airplane are as follows: wingspan = 35.8 ft, wing area = 174 ft2, normal gross weight = 2950 lb, fuel capacity = 65 gal of aviation gasoline, the parasite drag coefficient CD,0 = 0.025, Oswald efficiency factor = 0.8 and propeller efficiency = 0.8. The power plant comprises one-piston engine of 230 hp at sea level. Calculate the maximum velocity of the airplane at sea level.

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.300 mol of oxygen at 2.50×105 Pa and 360 K . The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas first expands isobarically to twice its original volume. It is then compressed isothermally back to its original volume, and finally it is cooled isochorically to its original pressure.
a. Find the heat added to the gas during the initial expansion
b. Find internal-energy change of the gas during the initial expansion.
c. Find the heat added during the final cooling;
d. Find the internal-energy change during the isothermal compression.

PART 2:
There are data that give the relative frequency probabilities of various types of accidents (such as being killed by lightning, by a shark bite, or by falling airplane debris).
Choose two types of fatal accidents and research the relative frequency probabilities of each. Compare and discuss your findings. Were you surprised by the results? Why or why not? Your answers should be a minimum of three complete sentences. Be sure to include your references.
