Question
A certain gas has cp = 0.913 and cv = 0.653 kJ/kg.K. Find the molecular weight and the
gas constant R of the gas. A constant volume chamber of 0.3 m3
capacity contains 1 kg
of air at 5°C. Heat is transferred to the air until the temperature is 100°C. Find the work
done, the heat transferred, and the changes in internal energy, enthalpy and entropy.

- The results of air temperature measurements obtained a dry bulb temperature of 50°C and a wet bulb temperature of 31°C. Using a Psychrometric chart, determine the properties of the air as follows: a. Air humidity = % b. Water content = kg water / kg air c. Specific volume = m3 / kg d. Enthalpy = kJ / kg e. Condensation temperature = °C If the air is in 162 m3 space, determine, f. Air weight (dry air and water vapor) = kg g. The amount of water content in the space = kgarrow_forwarda) How many rotational degrees of freedom are there in a CO2 molecule and in a H2O molecule?b) If the temperature of a low-pressure CO2 gas is raised high enough to completely excite its rotational and vibrational modes, what will be its specific heats cv and cp? Express answers in both kJ/kg K and kJ/kmol·K.arrow_forwardThe heat changes that take place in chemical reactions or physical state transitions can be measured. The heat change and the change in enthalpy is: Heat change does not affect enthalpy. O smaller than the change in enthalpy O equal to the change in enthalpy O greater than the change in enthalpy MacBook Airarrow_forward
- 3 Having just invented a new type of calorimeter, Dr. Campbell needs to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. She carries out the following experiment to do this: She puts 20.0 grams of water in her empty calorimeter and it is allowed to stabilize at a temperature of 25.0ºC. She then adds 35.586 grams of water at a temperature of 83ºC to the calorimeter. After a few minutes the final temperature of the calorimeter stabilizes at 47.8ºC. Based on this experiment, what is the heat capacity of her calorimeter assuming units of J/ºC? Enter your answer with at least 3 sig figs.arrow_forwardThe figure below is the basic plot of pressure vs. volume for the Dual Standard Cycle.
