How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 1,500 meters if sound travels at a speed of 330 m/sec?

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.

Which sound characteristic is not affected by the relative motion of an object

Atank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 k and pressure of 1.00 atm . part a the tank is heated until the pressure of the gas in the tank doubles. what is the temperature of the gas?
