Answer: 3)

The efficiency (η) of a Carnot engine is given by:


η = 1 – TC/TH

Originally: ¼ = 1 – TC/TH
Now: 2x¼ = 1 – (TC -100)/TH
½ = 1- TC/TH + 100/TH =1 – 1 + ¼ + 100/TH
¼ =100/TH
Thus TH = 400 K.

Answer:
4) why umbrellas turn inside out in high winds.

In the diagram above, the blue area above the umbrella shows the lower air
pressure (faster flow), and the red area below the umbrella shows the higher air
pressure (slower flow). The resulting force causes the umbrella to invert. The gray
lines are streamlines. Streamlines are closer together where the flow is faster and
pressure is less, they are further apart in areas where the flow is slower and there
is greater pressure.

PRS L9 (Session L2): If you blow a steady stream of air


between two hanging sheets of paper, the papers will

1. blow apart.
2. move toward each other.
3. remain unchanged.
4. one move toward the center and one move
away from the center

(PHYS1003)[2019](f)quiz~=ifemuzn^_18488.pdf downloaded by hkchengae from http://petergao.net/ustpastpaper/down.php?course=PHYS1003&id=0 at 2020-03-26 22:35:36. Academic use within HKUST only.

Answer: 2) move toward each other


because the fast-moving air between the paper sheets has
a lower pressure than the air outside.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-xNXrELCmU 1:40
The most important result that can be derived from Bernoulli's equation is
this: generally, where flow is faster, pressure is lower.

The pressure between the pieces of paper is, therefore, less


than atmospheric pressure, so the air pushes the pieces of paper together.

1) The annual production rate in 1940 = 1.33 Gbbl/yr.


The annual production rate in 1960 = 2.8 Gbbl/yr.
The annual production rate increases. The increase in
annual production rate per year:
= 1.47 Gbbl/yr /20 yr = 0.0735 Gbbl/yr2.
2) The annual production rate in 1990 = 2.8 Gbbl/yr.
The annual production rate in 2010 = 1.33 Gbbl/yr.
The annual production rate decreases. The decrease in
annual production per year:
= –1.47 Gbbl/yr /20 yr = –0.0735 Gbbl/yr2.

Answers:
1. Diesel engine and gas turbine (jet engine) (mentioned in L7
Otto Engine).
2. From rule of 70, growth rate = 70/10 = 7 %
3. Compound growth rate, r, can be calculated as:
Years = 18,
initial value = 88 MTEU, final value = 530 MTEU
530 = 88 (1 + r)18,
(1 + r) = (530/88)1/18 ≈ 1.105, r = 10.5%
Also admissible: 530 = 88 e18r, 18r = ln(530/88), r ≈ 10%

Short questions
HW L7-L10 Q1
3. (a) Find the power needed to keep a car traveling at
a speed 100 km/h. If the speed is increased to
125 km/h, what is the power needed to keep the
car moving? By what factor is the power used
increased or decreased?
(b) Find the energy used in covering 100 km with
speed of 100 km/h and 125 km/h, using the data
given by MacKay. Find the factor the energy
used is increased or decreased.

(a) The power needed to keep a car moving at a speed v: p = 𝜌𝐴𝑣 3 watt.
2
Here, 𝜌= 1.3 kg/m , A = 1 m , according the lecture notes or text book,
3 2

v = 100 km/h ≈ 27.8 m/s,


Power moving at 100 km/h ≈ 14 kW.
v = 125 km/h ≈ 34.7 m/s,
Power moving at 125 km/h ≈ 27.2 kW
The power needed is increased by a factor of 27.2/14 ≈ 1.94 ≈ (125/100)3
Increasing the speed by 25% almost doubles the power needed.

(b) energy = time x power


Time needed to cover the distance 100 km at v = 100 km/h is 1 hr.
Time needed to cover the distance 100 km at v = 125 km/h is 0.8 h.
Energy per 100 km travelled moving at 100 km/h = 14 kW x 1 h = 14 kWh.
Energy per 100 km travelled moving at 125 km/h = 27.2 kW x 0.8 h = 21.8 kWh.
Energy increased by 21.8/14 ≈ 1.56 ≈ (125/100)2

Alternatively, power/speed = energy/ distance.


energy per m at v = 100 km/h is 14 kW / 27.8 m/s = 503.6 J
The energy to cover 100 km = 503.6 × 105 J = 14 kWh.
At v = 125 km/h, the energy to cover 100 km = 21.8 kWh.
The energy used is increase by a factor of 21.8/14 ≈ 1.56 ≈ (125/100)2
