The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25 degC, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m^3, the pressure rises in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50 degC. Determine the amount of air, in kg, that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa
Question #1 a) The absolute pressure inside a tank is 0.13bar, and the surrounding atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. A Bourdon gage is mounted in the tank wall to measure the pressure, in kPa? Is this a vacuum or gage reading? b) (967)kJ of heat is transferred from the system to the surroundings when a closed system of mass (28)kg undergoes a process.

7. An air bubble rises from the bottom of the well where the temperature is 20°C to the surface where the temperature is 50°C. If the existing atmospheric pressure at the surface of the well water is 101.3kPa, determine the percent increase in volume of the bubble if the pressure in the bottom of the well is 200kPag.

A piston-cylinder arrangement contains water at 112°C, 84% quality with a volume of 0.98 L. What is the initial mass, in grams? The system is then heated, causing the 150-mm-diameter piston to rise and encounter a linear spring with k = 800 kN/m. Calculate the specific internal energy (kJ/kg) at this instant knowing that the measured volume is 1.65 L. The heating continues and compresses the spring in the process. When the piston encounters the stops, the pressure is 200 kPa. What is the temperature (in °C) and entropy (in J/K) at this point? Heating then continues until the pressure reaches 300 kPa. What is the volume, in L, at this instant? Illustrate the complete process in separate P-v and T-v diagrams.
