Very pure liquid water can be subcooled at atmospheric pressure to temperatures well below 0 °C. Assume that 1 kg has been cooled as a liquid to -6 °C. A small ice crystal (of negligible mass) is added to “seed” the subcooled liquid. If the subsequent change occurs adiabatically at atmospheric pressure, what fraction of the system freezes and what is the final temperature? What is ΔStotal for the process, and what is its irreversible feature? The latent heat of fusion of water at 0 °C is 333.4 J/g, and the specific heat of subcooled liquid water is 4.226 J/g °C.

When water boils in a pot with a loose lid, the increased pressure forces the lid upward, releasing steam and reducing the pres- sure in the pot so that the lid drops back down. If the water continues to boil, the lid can rattle upward and downward. Consider a 1 L pot half filled with boiling water. In this case there is half a liter, or 1 mol, of air and steam above the water. (a) Estimate the mass of the lid. (b) When the water is rapidly boiling, estimate the height to which the lid jumps during a steam-release event. (c) By multiplying the weight of the lid by the height of the jump, estimate the work done by the steam as the lid moves upward. (d) Treat the process as adiabatic and use the first law of thermodynamics to estimate the drop in the temperature of the steam as it pushes the lid upward.
From the principle that time rates of cooling of equal equilibrium of two liquids in an identity container is the same, derive the expression for the SHC of the first liquid
Consider an ideal gas of highly relativistic particles (such as photons or fast-moving electrons), whose energy-momentum relation is E = pc instead of E = p2/2m. Assume that these particles live in a one-dimensional universe. By following the same logic as above, derive a formula for the single particle partition function Z1 , for one particle in this gas.
A sample of oxygen (O2) of mass 1 g is contained in a 1000 cm3 volume at an initialtemperature of 288.15 K.

You are required to purchase a 3,000 L tank of liquid butane to heat a maintenance building during the winter. You are concerned about the tank rupture and the possibility of a vapour cloud explosion of all the butane. How far (in metres) must the tank be from the maintenance building to ensure that it will receive only partial demolition in the event of an explosion? The specific gravity of liquid butane is 0.6, and the energy of explosion for butane is 510 kcal/gm-mol. Assume the explosion efficiency is 10 % in this case.
At a certain location during the winter, the average air temperature is 10 degrees Celsius and the net radiation is 40 W/m^2 and during the summer the net radiation is 200 W/m^2 and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. Compute the evaporation rates using the PRiestley-Taylor Method
Show that a perfect gas undergoing an ideal adiabatic throttling process will not change temperature; then show that a real gas (use propane, as the example) will change temperature under ideal throttling. Choose the initial conditions of a typical propane canister at room temperature and its saturated pressure condition.
Compressed gases and phase-changing liquids are used to store energy in rigid containers. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each substance as a means of storing energy?
Steam is used to heat a cylindrical open tank of water until it boils, after which a proportion of the water in the tank is vaporised. The tank has an internal diameter of 1 m and is initially filled with water to a depth of 2 m. At the start of the process, this water is at 19°C and has a density of 998 kg/m3 . It may be assumed that ambient atmospheric pressure is 1 bar and that any effects arising from hydrostatic head can be ignored, as can heat losses from the tank to the surrounding environment. The heating medium is saturated steam at 5 bar, which enters a heating coil at the base of the tank at 5 kg/min, loses heat to the water in the tank and condenses to form saturated liquid condensate at this pressure. Using the steam table supplied: a) Find the temperature (°C) and power rating (kW) of the heater coil. b) Find the boiling point of the water in the tank under these conditions, and the time required to bring the water to this temperature. c) Find the proportion of water…
The piston cylinder assembly initially has a temperature of 450 ºC and a pressure of 2.5 m3 of water vapor at 1 MPa pressure. There is a constant heat transfer from the system to the environment until the droplets of water begin to form. Accordingly, calculate the heat transfer during the state change..
