A plane needs to reach a velocity of 250 kilometers per hour to take off and leave the runway. If the wind is blowing in the direction of takeoff at a velocity of 20 kilometers per hour, what velocity must the plane reach in order to take off?

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.

Much of the information taught in earth-space science would not be available if it weren’t for our remote sensing abilities. explain two ways our remote sensing strategies contribute to our knowledge of these topics.

The slope of a velocity time graph over any interval of time gives the during that interval
