Chapter 9, Problem 9.63P
A rocket for use in deep space is to be capable of boosting a total load (payload plus rocket frame and engine) of 3.00 metric tons to a speed of 10 000 m/s. (a) It has an engine and fuel designed to produce an exhaust speed of 2 000 m/s. How much fuel plus oxidizer is required? (b) If a different fuel and engine design could give an exhaust speed of 5 000 m/s, what amount of fuel and oxidizer would be required for the same task? (c) Noting that the exhaust speed in part (b) is 2.50 times higher than that in part (a), explain why the required fuel mass is not simply smaller by a factor of 2.50.

The Earth's atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9
percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gasses. To find out why these gasses are "trapped" in the
earth's atmosphere, consider a projectile with mass m that is about to launch vertically upward
from earth.
e. Ignore air resistance, show that the projectile can only escape the magnetie pull of the
earth if it is launched vertically upward with a kinetic energy greater than mgRearth, where
g = 9.80 m/s? and the earth's radius Rearth = 6378 km.
f. Compute the temperature required by a nitrogen molecule (molar mass 28.0 g/mol) and
an oxygen molecule (molar mass 32 g/mol) to achieve the average translational kinetie
energy required to escape earth?
g. Repeat part (b) for the moon, for which g = 1.63 m/s? and Rmoon = 1740 km.
h. Present your conclusion on the atmosphere of earth and moon based on the results from
parts (b) and (c).
A rocket is designed to produce 5 MN of thrust at sea level (assume ambient pressure of 0.1 MPa). The pressure in the combustion chamber is 7 MPa and temperature 2800 K. If the working fluid is assumed to be an ideal gas at room temperature with properties of N2 gas at room temperature (molecular weight 28 kg/kmole). Determine specific impulse, mass flow rate, characteristics velocity and throat diameter.(Take R=8314 J/kmole-K, specific heat ratio 1.4 and nozzle exit pressure as 0.1 MPa)
A woman expends 95 kJ of energy walking a kilometer. The energy is supplied by the metabolic breakdown of food, which has an efficiency of 35 percent. How much energy does she save by walking the kilometer instead of driving a car that gets 8.2 km per liter of gasoline (approximately 20 mi/gal)? The density of gasoline is 0.71 g/mL, and its enthalpy of combustion is −49 kJ/g.

- A mole of helium gas strikes the wall of a container with a root mean square speed of 1,363 kilometers per second. An amount of force equivalent to___ Newtons is exerted on the wall by this collision. (The answer should be in three significant figures.)arrow_forwardLong-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.21 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 155-L tank at −45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank? MPaarrow_forwardNitrogen, the most abundant gas in the atmosphere (78%), is not necessary in the cardiovascular system and it causes no harm under typical atmospheric conditions. For instance, at standard atmospheric pressure nitrogen can absorb into your skin. This is not an issue until you dive underwater. Henry's Law (chemistry) states that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the gas' partial pressure. When the partial pressure of nitrogen increases, it will be absorbed into the blood stream. This is not particularly dangerous, although it can lead to a pleasant feeling called "nitrogen narcosis" in some people. The real danger is when the diver resurfaces. When the diver begins to ascend, the partial pressure of nitrogen decreases and nitrogen comes out of solution as small bubbles of gas in the bloodstream. The buildup of nitrogen can be removed from the body by passing nitrogen through the bloodstream and into the lungs where it is exhaled. However, this…arrow_forward
