Adiabatic wind. the normal airflow over the rocky mountains is west to east. the air loses much of its moisture content and is chilled as it climbs the western side of the mountains. when it descends on the eastern side, the increase in pressure toward lower altitudes causes the temperature to increase. the flow, then called a chinook wind, can rapidly raise the air temperature at the base of the mountains. assume that the air pressure p depends on altitude y according to , where p0 = 1.00 atm and a = 1.16 x 10-4 m-1. also assume that the ratio of the molar specific heats is γ = 4/3. a parcel of air with an initial temperature of -5.00°c descends adiabatically from y1 = 4944 m to y2 = 1892 m. what is its temperature at the end of the descent?

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.
