The equation of state of a gas is given as bar v(P+10/bar v^2) = RsubuT, where the units of bar v and P are m^3/kmol and kPa respectively. Now 0.49 kmol of this gas is expanded in a quasi-equilibrium manner from 1.6 to 4.9 m^3 at a constant temperature of 290 K. Determine the work done during this isothermal expansion process.

Ten liters of a monoatomic ideal gas at 25o C and 10 atm pressure are expanded to a final pressure of 1 atm. The molar heat capacity of the gas at constant volume, Cv, is 3/2R and is independent of temperature. Calculate the work done, the heat absorbed, and the change in U and H for the gas if the process is carried out (1) isothermally and reversibly, and (2) adiabatically and reversibly. Having determined the final state of the...

When gas expands in a cylinder with radius r, the pressure P at any given time is a function of the volume V: P = P(V). The force exerted by the gas on the piston (see the figure) is the product of the pressure and the area: F = πr2P. The work done by the gas when the volume expands from volume V1 to volume V2 is W = V2 P dV V1 . In a steam engine the pressure...

Two moles of nitrogen are initially at 10 bar and 600 K (state 1) in a horizontal piston/cylinder device. They are expanded adiabatically to 1 bar (state 2). They are then heated at constant volume to 600 K (state 3). Finally, they are isothermally returned to state 1. Assume that N 2 is an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity as given on the back flap of the book. Neglect the heat capacity of the piston/cylinder device. Suppose that...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is compressed at steady state from 0.8 bar and 17 °C to 3.5 bar with a compressor drawing 10 kW of power. The CO2 flows through the compressor at a rate of 0.1 m3/s through an inlet orifice that is 200 cm2. The gas leaves the compressor at a velocity of 12 m/s. Heat loss from the compressor to the surroundings is roughly 2% of the power fed to the compressor. In addition to the Give,...
