A hot air balloon is used as an air-vehicle to carry passengers. It is assumed that this balloon is sealed and has a spherical shape. Initially, the balloon is filled up with air at the pressure and temperature of 100 kPa and 27° C respectively and the initial diameter (D) of the balloon is 10 m. Then the balloon is heated up to the point that the volume is 1.2 times greater than the original volume (, = 1.2 V, ). Due to elastic material used in this balloon, the inside pressure (P) is proportional to balloon's diameter, i.e. P = aD, where a is a constant. a) Show that the process is polytropic (i.e. PV" = Constant) and find the exponent n and the constant. (Hint: Try to find a relationship between the pressure and the volume of the balloon by using the diameter D) b) Find the temperature at the end of the process by assuming air to be ideal gas. c) Find the total amount of work that is done by the balloon's boundaries and the fraction of this work that is done on the surrounding atmospheric air at the pressure of 100 kPa .

This thermodynamics statement is false to say that a basic way to reduce the mean velocity of water flowing through a pipe for a given mass flow rate and density is to decrease the inside diameter of the pipe? Why is this statement false? Please explain. Thank you!

What is the specific internal energy of water at 50 kPa and 200°C?
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of the universe is constant (ΔU = q - w), while the second law states that the entropy of the universe tends to increase towards the maximum (ΔStotal = ΔSystem + ΔSsurroundings ≥0). Accordingly, assuming that the entropy change of the system is ΔS = qter / T, define the value of ΔSsurroundings in terms of q(reversible) and T.
