- A cryogenic substance is found to have a specific heat capacity (at constant volume) c_v that varies with temperature according to c_v = AT^2, where A is an empirically derived constant with units J/(K^3 kg). If 220 J of energy must be transferred thermally (at constant volume) to an 8,750 mg sample of this substance to raise the temperature of the sample from 1.0 K to 6.6 K, what is the value of A? Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forward2) For a wall that has a thermal conductivity of 4.80 BTU/ft. hr. F°, the surface area is equal to 3 m^2. The temperature difference is equal to 26F°.The thickness of the wall is 400 mm. Determine the following: a. The total heat loss in 7 hours in BTU b. Assume that all the conditions were retained except that the area was reduced to 2 m^2, what is the percentage reduction in the rate of heat transfer through the wall. c. Explain the concepts/principles that were considered and the factors that affected the condition of the above mentioned items (a & b).arrow_forwardA liquid reactant solution is pumped through a pre-heater before entering a reaction vessel. The solution enters the pre-heater at 25 °C and must enter the reactor at 45 °C. The flow of the reactant solution is 1500 mL per minute. The density of the reactant solution is 0.91 g-cm3 and the heat capacity is 1.75 Jg1.K1. ASsume there is no heat loss in the pre-heater or between the pre-heater and the reactor. a. Draw a schematic of the pre-heater, detailing all mass and energy flows. b. Clearly define a system boundary. c. Write the general energy balance, and a simplified energy balance stating all assumptions that apply to this problem. d. What is the minimum power rating required for the pre-heater?arrow_forward
- A closed thermodynamic system consists of a fixed amount of substance (i.e. mass) in which no substance can flow across the boundary, but energy can. For a closed themodynamic system we cannot add energy to the system, via substance (E ) (1.e. matter which contains energy is not allowed across the boundary) Across the Boundaries E° = No Q = = Yes W mass NO CLOSED = Yes SY STEM m = constant | energy YES Figure 1.1. If the substance inside the thermodynamic system shown in figure 1.1. (i.e. piston cylinder device) is air, is the system a Fixed closed system Moveable closed system A.

The general function for determining the molar heat capacity is given below; Cp m = (a + bT + cT 2 )R . In case of a gas where a = 3.245, b = 7.108 x10^ -4 K ^-1 , and c = -4.06 x10 ^-8 K^ -2 for temperatures in the range of 800 Kelvins to 1,500 Kelvins. What is the change in the enthalpy (in KiloJoules per Kelvin per mole) for two moles of this gas at 1,500 kelvins? NOTE: Express answer in THREE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.arrow_forward
