Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Initial Temperature is Ti=0°F.

Final Temperature is Tf=70°F.

Pressure of the air is P=1 atm.

Convert the unit of initial temperature from degree Fahrenheit to Kelvin.

TK=(T°F+459.67)(5/9)        (1)

Here, temperature in Kelvin is TK, and temperature in degree Fahrenheit is T°F.

Substitute 0°F for T°F in Equation (1).

TK=(0+459.67)(5/9)Ti=255K

Here, initial temperature is Ti.

Convert the unit of initial temperature from degree Fahrenheit to Kelvin.

TK=(T°F+459.67)(5/9)        (2)

Substitute 70°F for T°F in Equation (2).

TK=(70+459.67)(5/9)Tf=294K

Here, final temperature is Tf.

Write the ideal gas law for states 1 and 2.

P1V1P2V2=N1RT1N2RT2        (3)

The volume is constant for an isochoric system. For a closed system, number of moles must be constant.

The Equation (3) is reduces as follows.

P1P2=T1T2P2=P1T2T1        (4)

Substitute 1atm for P1, 255 K for T2, and 294 K for T1 in Equation (4).

P2=(1atm)(255 K294 K)=0.8678atm

Thus, the final pressure is 0.8678atm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Initial Temperature is Ti=70°F.

Final Temperature is Tf=105°F.

Convert the unit of initial temperature from degree Fahrenheit to Kelvin.

TK=(T°F+459.67)(5/9)        (5)

Substitute 70°F for T°F in Equation (5).

TK=(70+459.67)(5/9)Ti=294K

Convert the unit of initial temperature from degree Fahrenheit to Kelvin.

TK=(T°F+459.67)(5/9)        (6)

Substitute 105°F for T°F in Equation (6).

TK=(105+459.67)(5/9)Tf=313K

Substitute 1atm for P1, 313 K for T2, and 294 K for T1 in Equation (4).

P2=P1T2T1=(1atm)(294 K313 K)=1.0661atm

Thus, the final pressure is 1.0661atm.

Explanation of Solution

Since the system is closed, the number of moles is constant and can be found from minimum volume. The minimum volume occurs at the minimum temperature.

Write the expression to obtain the minimum number of moles (Nmin).

Nmin=PVcollapsedRTmin        (7)

Substitute 1atm for P, 125,000m3 for Vcollapsed, 8.314Pam3/molK for R, and 255K for Tmin in Equation (7).

Nmin=(1atm)(125,000m3)(8.314Pam3/molK)(255K)=[(1atm)(0.1MPa/1atm)](125,000m3)(8.314Pam3/molK)(255K)=(0.1MPa)(125,000m3)(8.314Pam3/molK)(255K)=5.90Mmol

Write the expression to obtain the maximum volume at maximum temperature.

Vmaximum=NminRTmaxP        (8)

Substitute 1atm for P, 5.90Mmol for Nmin, 8.314Pam3/molK for R, and 313K for Tmax in Equation (8).

Vmaximum=(5.90Mmol)(8.314Pam3/molK)(313K)1atm(0.1MPa/1atm)=(5.90Mmol)(8.314Pam3/molK)(313K)0.1MPa=153,534.63m3

Write the expression to obtain the volume of air must the lungs hold when fully expanded.

Vlung=VmaximumVcollapsed        (9)

Substitute 153,534.63m3 for Vmaximum, and 125,000m3 for Vcollapsed in Equation (9).

Vlung=153,534.63m3125,000m3=28,534.63m3

Thus, the volume of air must the lungs hold when fully expanded is 28,534.63m3.

Explanation of Solution

Since this is being modeled as an ideal gas, internal energy is depends only on temperature.

Write the expression to obtain the change in specific internal energy (dU^).

dU^=C^VdT        (10)

As we do not have the heat capacity at constant volume for the air, use constant pressure heat capacity in Equation (10).

Rewrite Equation (10).

dU^=CV,airdT=(CP,airR)dT        (11)

Here, constant pressure heat capacity of air for ideal gas is CP,air, and constant volume heat capacity of air for ideal gas is CV,air.

Substitute 0.79CP,N2+0.21CP,O2 for CP,air in Equation (11).

dU^=(0.79CP,N2+0.21CP,O2R)dT        (12)

Here, constant pressure heat capacity of nitrogen for ideal gas is CP,N2, and constant pressure heat capacity of oxygen for ideal gas is CP,O2.

Integrate Equation (12).

dU^=T1T2(0.79CP,N2+0.21CP,O2R)dT=0.79T1T2(CP,N2)dT+0.21T1T2(CP,O2)dTRT1T2dT        (13)

Write the expression to obtain the constant pressure heat capacity of nitrogen for ideal gas (CP,N2).

CP,N2=R(A+BT+CT2+DT3+ET4)        (14)

Integrate Equation (14).

T1T2CP,N2=T1T2R(A+BT+CT2+DT3+ET4)dT=R[A(T2T1)+B2(T22T12)+C3(T23T13)+D4(T24T14)+E5(T25T15)]        (15)

Write the expression to obtain the parameter RT1T2dT.

RT1T2dT=R(T2T1)        (18)

Substitute 8.314J/molK for R, 313K for T2, and 255K for T1 in Equation (18).

RT1T2dT=(8.314J/molK)(313K255K1)=485J/mol

Substitute 1,341.26J/mol for CP,N2, 359.28J/mol for CP,O2, and 485J/mol for RT1T2dT in Equation (13).

dU^=0.79T1T2(CP,N2)dT+0.21T1T2(CP,O2)dTRT1T2dTΔU^=0.79T1T2(1,341.26J/mol)dT+0.21T1T2(359.28J/mol)dT485J/mol={[0.79(1,341.26J/mol)(T2T1)]+0.21[(359.28J/mol)(T2T1)]485J/mol}        (19)

Substitute 313K for T2, and 255K for T1 in Equation (19).

ΔU^={[0.79(1,341.26J/mol)(313K255K)]+0.21[(359.28J/mol)(313K255K)]485J/mol}=1,341.26J/mol+359.28J/mol485J/mol=1215.5J/mol

Write the expression to obtain the change in internal energy (ΔU).

ΔU=ΔU^(Nmin)        (20)

Substitute 5.90Mmol for Nmin, and 1215.5J/mol for ΔU^ in Equation (20).
