What is the final temperature of the gas in the wheel? (It should be taken into account that the gas behaves ideally and the Cp value for air is 7 / 2R)
Consider one mole of an ideal monoatomic gas at STP and confined in a volume V1. You would like to increase its temperature by an amount ΔT.a) Where will you provide less heat to achieve your objective; at constant volume process or at constant pressure process? Give your reasoning without using or referring to any formula.b) We can achieve the same objective along an adiabatic process; how do we do it keeping in mind that there is no heat exchanged in an adiabatic process?c) Express the work done by the gas in the three processes; the question is not merely to write the expressions but you must show briefly how they are obtained.
A constant-volume tank initially contains 1 kmol of carbon monoxide CO and 3 kmol of oxygen O2 (no nitrogen) at 25°C and 2 atm. Now the mixture is ignited and the CO burns completely to carbon dioxide CO2. If the final temperature in the tank is 500 K, determine the final pressure in the tank and the amount of heat transfer. Is it realistic to assume that there will be no CO in the tank when chemical equilibrium is reached?

One mole of nitrogen (N2) is cooled from an initial temperature and pressure of 700 K and 10 bar to a final temperature of 300 K. The heat capacity of nitrogen may be taken as: Cp,m = 28.58 + 3.77 × 10-3 T where Cp,m is in J mol-1 K-1 and T is in Kelvin. Assuming nitrogen behaves as an ideal gas, calculate q, w, ∆U, and ∆H for this process when it is carried out (a) at constant pressure, and (b) at constant volume. Compare the values obtained for the two cases.
