Question
A rigid, closed tank containing 1100 grams of nitrogen (N2) is cooled from 900 K to 100 K. The specific heat capacity of N2 at constant volume is Cv = 30 J.mol-1.K-1. Assume Cv stays constant in the given temperature range. Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol.
(i) Write the simplified first law of
(ii) Calculate the total heat transferred in the process of cooling in kJ.
(iii) If the entire heat from the cooling of nitrogen could be used as work to change the volume of another gas from 500 m3 to 1000 m3 in a constant pressure process, calculate the value of pressure.
(iv) Instead of a rigid container, if N2 was in a piston-cylinder system with a movable piston and the gas was expanded reversibly and at constant temperature (300K), calculate the work done in kJ/mole if the change in volume was 10-fold. Assume N2 to be an ideal gas.

The two sections contain equal masses of air, initially at the same conditions, T₁ = 300K, and P₁=1 atm. An electrical heating element in section A is activated, and the air temperatures slowly increases: TA in section A because of heat transfer, and TB in section B because of adiabatic compression by the slowly moving piston. Treat air as an ideal gas with Cp = 7/2R, and let na be the number of moles of air in section A. If the final temperature in section B (TB) is 325K, evaluate: a. TA, the temperature in section A b. Q/nA, the heat absorbed per mole of A c. P(final), the final pressure d. The change in entropy (ASsys) of each section.arrow_forward

An ideal gas with Cp = 29.3 kJ kmol-K- undergoes the following three-step process: Step 1: The gas is heated at constant volume from 300 K and 0.1 MPa until the pressure reaches 0.2 MPa. Step 2: The gas is expanded adiabatically and reversibly to a pressure of 0.1MPA. Step 3: At constant pressure of 0.1 MPa, the gas is cooled to 300 K. Determine the heat and work for each step, and the efficiency defined as the ratio of the net work done to the heat supplied. 1arrow_forward
