Chapter 5.3, Problem 22R

To determine

To Describe: The change in the thermal energy of the bicycle pump when a person pushes down the handle of the bicycle pump with some force for a condition where there is no heat between the pump and its surroundings.

Answer to Problem 22R

There is no change in the thermal energy.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

If the cycle pump does not contain and heat in between and the surroundings then the heat pump will not consume any heat.

There is no change in the thermal energy of the bicycle pump because it does not contain and heat in its surrounding and so it will not consume any heat.

Conclusion:

Hence, there is no change in the thermal energy.
