5 kg of air at 40°C and 1 bar is heated in a reversible non-flow constant pressure until the volume is doubled. Find the (a) change in volume, (b) work done, (c) change in internal energy and (d) ...Read more
A certain gas of volume 0.4 m3, pressure of 4.5 bar and temperature of 130°C is heated in a cylinder to 9 bar when the volume remains constant. Calculate the (i) temperature at the end of the process, ...Read more
In a vessel 10 kg of O2 is heated in a reversible non-flow constant volume process so that the pressure of O2 is increased two times that of initial value. The initial temperature is 20°C. Calculate the final ...Read more
Mass of 15 kg of air in a piston cylinder device is heated from 25°C to 90°C by passing current through a resistance heater inside the cylinder. The pressure inside the cylinder is held constant at 300 kPa ...Read more
An insulated rigid tank having 5 kg of air at 3 atm and 30°C is connected to an air supply line at 8 atm and 50°C through a valve. The valve is now slowly opened to allow the ...Read more
A system receives 200 kJ of energy as heat, at constant volume. Then it is cooled at constant pressure when 50 kJ of work was done on the system while it rejects 70 kJ of heat. Supposing the ...Read more
A piston cylinder assembly contains air (ideal gas with γ = 1.4) at 200 kPa and occupies a volume of 0.01 m3. The piston is attached to one end of a spring and the other end of the ...Read more
A rigid tank containing 0.4 m3 of air at 400 kPa and 30°C is connected by a valve to a piston cylinder device with zero clearance. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 200 ...Read more
In a new temperature scale say °ρ, the boiling and freezing points of water at one atmosphere are 100°ρ and 300°ρ respectively. Correlate this scale with the Centigrade scale. The reading of 0°ρ on the Centigrade scale is: ...Read more
Define a new thermodynamic scale say degree No, in which the freezing point and boiling point of water are 100°N and 300°N respectively. Correlate this temperature scale with centigrade scale.
