1. Butane (MW=58), is a type of hydrocarbon commonly used as fuel for portable stoves. The gas is held in a 20 Liter cylindrical container. Butane is stored initially at a pressure of 15 bar and at room temperature of 30°C. If the pressure limit for the container, (also known as bursting pressure) is 120 bar, determine the maximum temperature allowed (in Kelvin) for the gas inside, also, determine the mass (in kg) of butane.

In the engine of a car that uses petrol as fuel, when the piston is at its highest position, air at 10 bar and 100°C enters the cylinder. Without any change in the volume, ignition occurs, and the air temperature rises to 1500°C. What is the air pressure after the ignition? (Select the closest value)[Whenever necessary, assume air as an ideal gas and consider R = 287 J/(kg.K).]

1 kg of H 2 O is contained in a rigid, insulated cylindricalvessel. The H 2 O is initially saturated vapor at 120°C. The vessel is fitted with a paddle wheel from which a mass is suspended. As the mass descends a certain distance, the H 2 O is stirred until itattains a final equilibrium state at a pressure of 3 bar. The only significant changes in state areexperienced by the H 2 O and the suspended mass. Determine, in kJ,(a) the change in exergy of the H 2 O.(b) the change in exergy of the suspended mass.(c) the change in exergy of an isolated system of the vessel and pulley–mass assembly.(d) the destruction of exergy within the isolated system.

Who is right? A student thinks that in the open air at 25°C, water vaporizes slowly, and therefore finds in the presence of its steam. Or a student referring to the water state diagram and under an atmosphere water claims that water can only be entirely in liquid form. To which Error of reasoning is due to this "contradiction"?
A pipe with a valve connects two vessels A and B of different sizes. Vessel A contains 142 L of air at 2767.92 kPa, 93 0 C. Vessel B of unknown volume, contains air at 68.95 kPa, 4 0 C.
