To produce work a gas is expanded adiabatically from 3 MPa and 300oC to 80 kPa in a piston-cylinder device. Which of these two choices –air with an isentropic expansion efficiency of 90% or neon with an isentropic expansion efficiency of 80% – will produce the most work?

Explanation:

Check attachment for solution

Given that, .

The initial gas pressure is

P1 = 3 MPa

The initial gas temperature

T1 = 300°C

The final gas pressure is

P2 = 80 KPa

Which are of two choices

1. Air with an isentropic expansion of 90% efficiency

2. Neon with an isentropic expansion of 80% efficiency

We want to know which will produce more work

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
