You have a particular interest in automobile engines, so you have secured a co-op position at an automobile company while you attend school. Your supervisor is helping you to learn about the operation of an internal combustion engine. She gives you the following assignment, related to a simulation of a new engine she is designing. A gas, beginning at PA = 1.00 atm, VA = 0.500 L, and TA = 27.0°C, is compressed from point A on the PV diagram in Figure P19.31 (page 530) to point B. This represents the compression stroke in a fourcycle gasoline engine. At that point, 132 J of energy is delivered to the gas at constant volume, taking the gas to point C. This represents the transformation of potential energy in the gasoline to internal energy when the spark plug fires. Your supervisor tells you that the internal energy of a gas is proportional to temperature (as we shall find in Chapter 20), the internal energy of the gas at point A is 200 J, and she wants to know what the temperature of the gas is at point C.

Path B has two steps. In the first step, the gas is cooled at constant volume to 1.05 atm. In the second step, the gas is heated and allowed to expand against a constant external pressure of 1.05 atm until the final volume is 8.46 L.

- When we drive at higher speeds for an extended period, the tire warms, and the air within expands and increases pressure. The increase in tire pressure is mostly evident in drag racing. Let us imagine that you are in a drag racing competition. Your pit stop team wanted to know the change in internal energy of the tire in your car in BTU. Before the race, the tire was initially pumped to 107 psig of air. At the first pit stop, the recorded tire pressure was 117 psig. The volume of the tire remained constant at 0.017 ft³ and the Cp = 7.7 BTU lbmol-°Farrow_forwardA cylinder is closed at both ends and has insulating walls. It is divided into two compartments by an insulating piston that is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder as shown in Figure a. Each compartment contains 1.00 mol of oxygen that behaves as an ideal gas with Gamma = 1.40. Initially, the two compartments have equal volumes and their temperatures are T1i=530 K and T2i = 275 K. The piston is then allowed to move slowly parallel to the axis of the cylinder until it comes to rest at an equilibrium position (Figure b). Find the final temperatures in the two compartments.
