Question

Mechanical Engineering

From the expressions we derived for the kinetic theory of gases,it can be shown that the fraction of gas molecules having speeds inexcess of a particular speed c is

f(c) = 1 + [2*alpha/sqrt(pi)] exp(-alpha2) -erf(alpha)

where alpha = c/cm , cm is the mostprobable speed and erf() is the error function. Consider now 1000H2 atoms in thermal equilibrium at 0oC.Consider the range of speeds from 0 to 3,000 m/s divided into 100m/s intervals.

(a) Usint the equation above, plot the number of molecules ineach increment

(b) Also, on your plot, show cm, c bar (averagespeed), and crms (rms speed)
