- Oxygen (molar mass 32 kg/kmol) expands reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston at a constant pressure of 3 bar. The volume initially is 0.01 m3 and finally is 0.03 m3; the initial temperature is 17°C. Calculate the work input and the heat supplied during the expansion. Assume oxygen to be an ideal gas and take cp = 0.917 kJ/kg K. For 1 bonus mark explain why (using your understanding of thermodynamics) that oxygen is used in this context rather than water vapour.arrow_forwardHydrodynamic Lubrication Theory Q1: Convert this equations into Python by 1- ah ap a h³ ap 1..ah = ax 12μ ax ay 12μ ay 2 ax Where P=P(x, y) is the oil film pressure. 2- 3μU (L² ε sin P= C²R (1+ cos 0)³ Q2: prove that |h(0) = C(1+ cos 0) ?arrow_forward### To make a conclusion for a report of an experiment on rockets, in which the openrocket software was used for the construction and modeling of two rockets: one one-stage and one two-stage. First rocket (single-stage) reached a maximum vertical speed of 200 m/s and a maximum height of 1000 m The second rocket (two-stage) reached a maximum vertical speed of 250 m/s and a maximum height of 1800 m To make a simplified conclusion, taking into account the efficiency of the software in the study of rocketsarrow_forward
