P1. One mole of gas in a closed system undergoes a four-step thermodynamic cycle. Use the
data given in the following table to determine numerical values for the missing quantities,
i.e., "fill in the blanks."
P2. Heat in the amount of 7.5 kJ is added to a closed system while its internal energy
decreases by 12 kJ. How much energy is transferred as work? For a process causing the same
change of state but for which the work is zero, how much heat is transferred?
(b) Experiences a change in elevation Δz. The change in potential energy ΔEp is the same as
ΔU' for part (a). What is Δz, in meters?
(c) IS accelerated from rest to final velocity u. The change in kinetic energy ΔEk is the same
as ΔUt for part (a). What is u, in m s-1?
P4 .One kilogram of air is heated reversibly at constant pressure from an initial state of
300 K and 1 bar until its volume triples. Calculate W, Q, ∆U, and ∆H for the process.
Assume for air that P V/ T = 83.14 bar cm3 mol-1 K-1 ,Cp = 29 J mol-1 K-1 and Mw for air
28.9 g/mol .
P.5 .A non-conducting container filled with 25 kg of water at 20 o C is fitted with a stirrer,
which is made to turn by gravity acting on a weight of mass 35 kg. The weight falls slowly
through a distance of 5 m in driving the stirrer. Assuming that all work done on the weight is
transferred to the water and that the local acceleration of gravity is 9,8 m s-2.Determine:
P.6 Carbon dioxide gas enters a water-cooled compressor at the initial conditions P1 =15
(psia) and T1 = 50 (°F) and is discharged at the final conditions P2 =520 (psia) and T2 = 200
(°F). The entering CO2 flows through a 4 in-diameter pipe with a velocity of 20(ft)(s)-1, and is
discharged through a 1 in-diameter pipe. The shaft work supplied to the compressor is 5360
(Btu)(mole)-1'. What is the heat-transfer rate from the compressor in kW?
P.7 Water flows through a horizontal coil heated from the outside by high-temperature flue
gases. As it passes through the coil the water changes state from liquid at 200 kPa and (80°C)
to vapour at 100 kPa and (125°C). Its entering velocity is 3 m s-1 and its exit velocity is 200
m s-1. Determine the heat transferred through the coil per unit mass of water. Enthalpies of
the inlet and outlet streams are: Inlet: 334.9 kJ kg-1; Outlet: 2726.5 kJ kg-1
P.8. Fifty (50) kmol per hour of air is compressed from P1 = 1.2 bar to P2 = 6.0 bar in a
steady-flow compressor. Delivered mechanical power is 98.8 kW. Temperatures and
velocities are:
Estimate the rate of heat transfer from the compressor. Assume for air that Cp =7/2 R and that
enthalpy is independent of pressure.
