The forces on the strands of wire

High-voltage power is often carried in wire bundles made up of individual strands. In your initial post to the discussion, discuss the forces on the strands of wire due to the current flowing through them. What would happen if the force acted the opposite of the known behavior? Provide a detailed description.

Thermo Cycle

Consider a piston-cylinder assembly in which a gas undergoes a cycle consisting of the following three processes Process 1-2: constant pressure, P= 1.4 bar, aL1 = 0.058 m3, W12 = 7.5 Id Process 2-3: Compression with PV= constant, U3 = U2 Process 3-1: Constant volume, U1 -U3 = -12.6 Id Neglect changes in kinetic or …

P-V diagram

A gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a process during which the pressure-specific volume is related as PV’ 3 = Constant. The mass of the gas is 0.5 Ibm; the Initial pressure is 170 psia, volume is 1.2 ft3. The final pressure is 420 psia. There is a heat transfer from the gas of 4.1 …

Relationship between pressure and volume

Air undergoes a process from an initial state 14.7 psia and 1000 in3 to a final state where 60 psia, and 320 in3. The relationship between pressure and volume during the process is pV” = constant. Determine the value of the constant n and calculate the work, in Btu. (Hint: watch “work determination”).
