A mixture of air and a fine spray of gasoline at ambient (outside air) temperature is fed to a set of piston fitted cylinders in an automobile engine. Sparks ignite the combustible mixtures in one cylinder after another, and the consequent rapid increase in temperature in the cylinders causes the combustion products to expand and drive the pistons. The back-and-forth motion of the pistons is converted to rotary motion of a crank shaft, motion that in turn is transmitted through a system of shafts and gears to propel the car.
Consider a car driving on a day when the ambient temperature is 298 K and suppose that the rate of heat loss from the engine to the outside air is given by the formula
where Tais the ambient temperature.
- Take gasoline to be a liquid with a specific gravity of 0.70 and a higher heating value of 49.0 kJ/g, assume complete combustion and that the combustion products leaving the engine are at 298 K, and calculate the minimum feed rate of gasoline (gal/h) required to produce l00 hp of shaft work.
- If the exhaust gases are well above 298 K (which they are), is the work delivered by the pistons more or less than the value determined in Part (a)? Explain.

- (a) How much work is required to compress 4.99 mol of air at 20.4°C and 1.00 atm to one-tenth of the original volume by an isothermal process? (b) How much work is required to produce the same compression in an adiabatic process? (c) What is the final pressure in part (a)? (d) What is the final pressure in part (b)?arrow_forwardTVA’s Kingston Fossil Plant near Cedarville, Tennessee, burns about 14,000 tons of coal a day. A typical rail car is 53 ft long from coupling to coupling, weighs 30 tons empty and can carry 100 tons of coal. How many minutes would you have to wait at a crossing for this train to pass, each day, if it was pulled by four locomotives, each 70 ft long and moving at 10 miles per hour through town? Such delays cause decreased ability to provide effective emergency response times and interference with commuters and local freight delivery affecting the local economy.arrow_forwardConsider the combustion of one mole of methane gas:CH4(gas) + 2O2(gas) --> CO2 (gas) + 2H2O(gas).The system is at standard temperature (298 K) and pressure (105 Pa) both before and after the reaction. 1.) First imagine the process of converting a mole of methane into its elemental consituents (graphite and hydrogen gas). Use the data at the back of this book to find ΔH for this process. 2.) Now imagine forming a mole of CO2 and two moles of water vapor from their elemental constituents. Determine ΔH for this process. Question: How much heat is given off during this reaction, assuming that no "other" forms of work are done?arrow_forward
- 3. A gas contained within a closed piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: Process 1-2: Constant volume from P₁ = 1 bar, V₁ = 4 m³ to state 2, where P₂ = 2 bar; Process 2-3: Compression to V3 = 2 m³, during which the pressure-volume relationship is PV = constant; Process 3-4: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 1 m³; (a) Sketch the processes in series on P-V coordinates. (b) Evaluate the magnitude of work in kJ for EACH process. To make the unit consistent, you might need to convert the unit of pressure from bar to Pa.arrow_forwardThree moles of nitrogen at 30°C are contained in a container of a certain volume. If we ignore the heat capacity of this container, how much heat should we apply to the system to raise the temperature of nitrogen to 250°C?

- A chemical reaction takes place in a container fitted with a piston of cross-sectional area 20cm2. As a result of the reaction, the gas undergoes a compression, the piston is displaced by 5cm (toward the bottom of the container), pushed by an external pressure of 105Pa. Calculate the work.arrow_forwardA mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns then into gaseaous products. the cylinder has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1 atm. the cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath. From previous experiments, this chemical reaction is known to release 173.kJ of energy. the temperature of the water bath is monitored, and it is determined from this data that 37.2kJ of heat flows out of the system during the reaction. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Does the temperature of the water bath go up or down? Does the piston move in or out? Does the gas mixture do work, or is work done on it? How much work is done on (or by) the gas mixture? Round your answer to 3 significant digits.arrow_forwardIndicate the true option about calorimetry.(A). Internal energy is an intensive quantity.(B). The enthalpy does not depend on p, since this variable is the amount of heat put into play during an isobaric transformation.(C).
