This question is about the Earth's atmosphere and light/sound waves.

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.

Consider two regions of space containing a static electric field, region a and region b. in region a the equipotential lines are more closely spaced than those in region b. what can be said about the relative strength of the electric field in the two regions? a) the electric field in region a is stronger th

Adielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area a = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant k = 3.00. the capacitor is connected to a battery that creates a constant voltage v = 15.0 v . throughout the problem, use ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 c2/n.m2 . find the energy u1 of the dielectric-filled capacitor.
