Problem B: Shock Wave Escape (5 points) The star of a distant solar system explodes as a supernova. At the moment of the explosion, an
resting exploration spaceship is 15 AU away from the shock wave. The shock wave of the explo-
sion travels with 25000 km/s towards the spaceship. To save the crew, the spacecraft makes use
of a special booster that uniformly accelerates at 150 m/s in the opposite direction.
Determine if the crew manages to escape from the shock wave. (Neglect relativistic effects.)

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.
