You are an engineer working in a chemical lab, you are conducting an experiment that involve a phase change, your co-worker asked you to explain the relationships between system constants for a perfect gas, answer the following questions to help your colleague to understand the process: Q1. Discuss the difference between gas constant (R) and universal gas constant (Ru)? Explain how the two constants are related? Q2. Propane and methane are commonly used for heating in winter, and the leakage of these fuels, even for short periods, poses a fire danger for residential application. Which gas leakage do you think poses a greater risk for fire? State the reason. Q3. What is the ideal gas equation? Explain the relationship between pressure, temperature and volume in the ideal gas equation? In addition, discuss under what conditions is the ideal-gas assumption suitable for real gases?

1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year? 2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of energy growth in 2021.
In thermodynamic, a rigid tank may require you to deal with liqud or gas or both in the entire volume of the tank. Let’s say you need to create a container to keep one third of the volume inthe liquid phase in the form of steam water and the rest is in vapor, what are the parameters thatyou need to consider? Use relevant illustration of your design and prove it through yourcalculation.
In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)
After years of asking, you finally were allowed to go on a joy ride in your uncle’s 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. A notable feature of this vehicle is the gullwing door design that opens from a hinge at the top of the car. Unfortunately, you are having so much fun driving the car that you end up submerged in a fresh water lake. You sink to the bottom of the lake, which has a depth of 10 m. For the sake of simplicity, you can model the door as a 1 m × 1 m square plate, inclined at 45° relative to the floor of the lake. Neglect the weight of the door and friction in the hinge. How much force will be required to open the door, assuming you push from its geometric center?
Latent heat of fusion is the heat given up as a substance freezes. The latentheat of fusion for water is 144 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Thismeans that 144 Btu are given up for each pound of water that freezes. Howmany British thermal units of heat are given up when 4,000 pounds of waterfreeze?
The p-v diagram all make sense, but the equations are unreadable. i dont understand where some units have come from etc, could you please further explain the equations. thnks, feel free to take the relevant amount of credits
NASA sent a probe to Saturn's moon Titan, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.4 meters per second squared [ms2]. Titan's atmospheric pressure is 1.3 times Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level. The probe landed in a lake of liquid methane, which has a density of 0.454 kilograms per liter [kgL]. Since the probe weighs 300 pounds-force [lbf] on Titan and has a volume of only 1.2 cubic feet [ft3], it immediately sank. It now sits 65 feet [ft] below the surface of the lake. The lake has a surface area exposed to the atmosphere of 24500 square meters [m2]. What is the total pressure exerted on the probe, in pascals [Pa]?
In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?
Chapter 7, Problem 63, there is an 'h' value that is solved when expressing half the width of the Rankine Oval that I am not quite understanding the process by which the value is solved for. Could you break down the process by which h=0.02423 m? It's been a while since I was last in school, so the mathematical method by which 'h' was solved is a little unclear to me.
This is for my thermodynamics chorus! Please consider degrees of freedom, the universal gas constant and the individual gas constant. Do not use PV=nRT for (c) Use another form of the ideal gas law to solve
