When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, the heat released (325 J) causes the products CO₂ and H₂O to expand, which pushes the pistons outward. Excess heat is removed by the car's cooling system. If the work associated with the expanding gases is equal to 451 J, how much is the change in internal energy of the gases? How much is the change in internal energy of the piston?

2.1 Taking the recent World Energy Council and United Nations resource-base figures forthe total amount of fossil energy in the ground worldwide as 356,000 quads, how longwill it take to exhaust our fossil resources, assuming that we can recover one-half of theresource base and that usage grows at 3% per year? The world currently consumes about400 quads of primary energy per year, of which 85% is from fossil sources. (Hint: youwill need to account for the compounding, exponential growth effect of the 3% per yearincrease in consumption.)
2. A waste heat recovery boiler produces 4.8MPa (dry saturated) steam from 103 deg C feedwater. The boiler receives energy from 6 kg/s of 945 deg C dry air. After passing through a waste heat boiler, the temperature of the air has been reduced to 343 deg C. How much steam in kg is produced per second? (Hint: Approximate Enthalpy of Water in kJ/kg = Cp(t); where t is in 0C) @4.8 MPa dry saturated: h = 2796 A. 1.8 C. 1.53 B. 2.98 D. 1.54

1. The heat produced in a boiler is transferred from the combustion products to the water. While the temperature of the combustion products decreases from 1100 °C to 550 °C, the pressure remains constant at 0.1 MPa. The average specific heat at constant pressure of the combustion products is 1.09 kJ/kg.K. The water enters the system at 0.8 MPa and 150 °C, and leaves at 0.8 MPa and 250 °C. Determine the second law efficiency and the irreversibility for each kilogram of water vaporized for this process. Note: This is a thermodynamics course question. Please provide a solution that is clear and quick.
