Astronauts in the International Space Station must work out every day to counteract the effects of weightlessness. Researchers have investigated if riding a stationary bicycle while experiencing artificial gravity from a rotating platform gives any additional cardiovascular benefit. What frequency of rotation, in rpm, is required to give an acceleration of 1.4g to an astronaut's feet, if her feet are 1.1m from the platform's rotational axis?

Which statement is true for light passing into a medium that is more optically dense than the first medium through which it past

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
