Problem 2 ( In a piston-and-cylinder apparatus the initial volume of air is 105 L at a pressure of 155 KPa and temperature of 34 °C. If the pressure is doubled while the volume is decreased to 65L, compute the final temperature and density of the air.
6.1 The thermal energy radiated out of an ingot is proportional to its surface area. Derive an equation for maximum pull rate Vmax that is related to the radius R and length / of the ingot. 6.2 "Heat loss is proportional to surface area." Assume that you have access to a thermometer in your kitchen. Design a conceptual experiment to prove the given statement. Explain possible errors that can occur in your experiment. (You are conducting the experiment in your kitchen; just like your cooking, the experiment does not have to be precise. Welare looking for concepts.)
the correct number of significant digits. 1. Look up the density of water at 5.0ºC, 20.0ºC, 22.0ºC, 25.0ºC, and 30.0ºC. Does temperature affect density? Is temperature a significant source of error for our experiment? Explain
Fatma owns a grain storage of which its relative humidity needs to be controlled regularly below 50% to prevent mold growth. Fatma decided to use a wet/dry bulb psychrometer to measure the relative humidity inside the storage. 1. Explain to Fatma the steps on how to use the dry/wet bulb psychrometer. 2. Using the dry/wet bulb Psychrometer, Fatma found that Tab= 27°C and the Tub= 20°C, then calculate; a. Relative humidity RH of the storage? b. Dew point temperature c. Specific humidity d. Enthalpy 3. Now, Fatma decided to heat the storage to Tab= 35"C in order to decrease the relative humidity down to 25 % at constant enthalpy, calculate; a. Wet-bulb temperature b. Specific humidity c. The amount of water lost during the heating process d. The amount of heat lost during the heating process

I need help solving this problem please help A 6-inch personal pizza has 570 calories. A 14-inch pizza is cut into 8 slices. Estimate the number of calories in one slice of a 14-inch pizza. Round your answer to the nearest calorie.
The piston cylinder set shown in Figure 01 contains 1 liter of water at 105 ºC with a titer equal to 0.85 (% steam = 85.00%). When the assembly is heated, the piston moves and when it meets the spring the volume is equal to 1.5 liters. Heating continues until the temperature reaches 600 ºC. Knowing that the piston diameter is 150 mm and that the spring constant is 100 N / mm. Calculate: a) The pressure in the water at the end of the process.b) The total work done.c) The amount of heat transferred to heat the system from 105 ºC to 600 ºC.

Directions: Solve the following problems. Use g = 9.80 m/s? and assume all numbers are accurate to 3 significant figures unless otherwise indicated. 1. A cylinder that has a 41.0-cm radius and is 50.0 cm deep is filled with air at 29.5°C and 1.00 atm shown in figure (a). A 21.0-kg piston is now lowered into the cylinder, compressing the air trapped inside as it takes equilibrium height hi as shown in figure (b). Finally, a 21.5-kg dog stands on the piston, further compressing the air, which remains at 29.5°C as shown in figure (c). What is the value Ah? Ah 50.0 cm h;
