Explain how the energy of a rubber ball is transformed as it rolls down a ramp.

The variables for this experiment include mass, volume and the materials in the various balls, as well as their densities. in part iii, you will be investigating the questionable baseball. use the drop-down menus to complete the sentences and identify the independent and dependent variables. in part iii, the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is . in part iii, the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is

Distinguish between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.

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.
