1) A piston-cylinder system containing 1100 grams of an ideal gas ‘X’ is cooled from 900 K to 100 K at constant pressure. The specific heat capacity of the gas is Cp = 38.3 J.mol-1.K-1. Assume Cp stays constant in the given temperature range. The molar mass of the gas = 28 g.mol-1.
a) Write the simplified first law of
b) Calculate the total heat transferred (in kJ) during the process of cooling
c) If the entire heat from the cooling of ‘X’ (as calculated in (b)) could be used as work to change the volume of another gas ‘Y’ from 500 m3 to 1000 m3 in a constant pressure process, calculate the value of pressure.
d) Instead of cooling at constant pressure, if ‘X’ was expanded reversibly and at a constant temperature (300K), calculate the work done by the system in kJ if the change in volume was 10-fold.

- 1.2 2 2.50 WP A gas undergoes a process in a piston-cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pul2 = con- stant. The mass of the gas is 0.4 lb and the following data are known: P₁ = 160 lbf/in.², V₁ = 1 ft³, and p₂ = 390 lbf/in. During the process, heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Blu. Kinetic and potential energy ef- fects are negligible. Determine the change in specific internal energy of the gas, in Btu/lb.arrow_forward2. a. Take B °C, then convert it to Fahrenheit and Kelvin. b. Find the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of B g of ice from -D °C to B °C.

- a) You have two phases of liquid and vapor (i.e., wet steam) at 250°C in a high-temperature high-pressure vessel, which contains 0.8 grams of vapor and 5 grams of liquid. What is the specific volume of the vapor (ml/g)? b) What is the total volume (mL) of the vessel? c) The vessel temperature was increased from 250°C to 280°C wile keeping the volume from part b the same. What is the mass (grams) of liquid then? 978 Appendix A.III: The Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam Saturated Steam: Temperature Table (Continued) Specific Volume Sat.

Firstly, the h1 value came out as 154.99 kJ/Kg for me not 153.318. Also, the values taken from the steam table for Vf and Vg for 5 degrees celcius and 6 degrees are different from what is on the steam table, I have attached a picture for this. For 5 degrees on the steam table it shows Vf as 0.00100008 and Vg as 147.011 and for 6 degrees it shows Vf as 0.00100011 and Vg as 137.633. Please clarify this and reply as soon as possible.
