Consider a closed system consisting of air at 1190 °F and 400 lbf/in2, with a velocity of 126 ft/s at an elevation of 3000 ft. The system is taken to a state at 77 °F and 14.7 lbf/in2, with a velocity of 0 ft/s at an elevation of 0 ft (also use this state as the exergy reference state). a. What is the maximum amount of work can we get from the system during this process, in Btu/lbm? b. Compare the magnitudes of each term in the equation for part a. (∆KE, ∆PE, ∆u, p∆v, T∆s). Include comments, observations, and/or conclusions.
Is the exergy of a system different in different environments? Explain
Answer the following true or false. Explain.
(a) A process that violates the second law of thermodynamics violates the first law of thermidynamics.
(b) When a net amount of work is done on a closed system undergoing an internally reversible process, a net heat transfer of energy from the system also occurs.
(c) One corollary of the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy of a closed system must be greater than zero or equal to zero.
(d) A closed system can experience an increase in entropy only when irreversibilities are present within the system during the process.
(e) Entropy is produced in every internally reversible process of a closed system.
(f) In an adiabatic and internally reversible process of a closed system, the entropy remains constant.
(g) The energy of an isolated system must remain constant, but the entropy can only decrease.
