Problem 3: A large room contains a volume of air of Va = 11 m3 at a temperature of Ta = 55° F. It also contains a bathtub holding a volume of water of Vw = 0.51 m3 at a temperature of Tw = 111° F.
Parts (a), (b), (c) are already complete. Just need parts (d) and (e).
Part (a) If the density of the air at Ta is ρa = 1.25 kg/m3, calculate the mass of air in the room in kilograms.
ma = 13.75
Part (b) If the density of the water at Tw is ρw = 1000 kg/m3, calculate the mass of the water in the bathtub in kilograms.
mw = 510
Part (c) Take the room and water as an isolated system. Write an equation for the equilibrium temperature of the system T in terms of ma, Ta, mw, Tw, and the specific heat capacity of the air ca and the water cw.
T = ( mw cw Tw + ma ca Ta )/( mw cw + ma ca )
Part (d) Calculate the final temperature of the system in kelvin, assuming a constant specific heat for the water of cw = 4180 J/kg⋅K and a constant specific heat capacity for the air of ca = 1010 J/kg⋅K.
Part (e) Calculate the change in the internal energy ΔU of the room-water system in joules.

- Air undergoes an isobaric process from T1 = 300 degrees Celsius to T2 = 250 degrees Celsius as an ideal gas in a closed system. The air volume reduces in the process. True or False.arrow_forward1. What should be the water line gage pressure in the ground floor of a building so that water can rise up in the fifth floor which is 15m high? 2. Determine the volume occupied by a 2kg steam at 500kPa, under the following conditions: (a) pressure state (b) pure vapor state (c) 20% moisture content (d) 20% dry When P (kPa) = 500, T (°C) = 151.86, Vf (m³/kg) = 0.0019 and Vg (m³/kg) = 0.3749 3. An automobile tire contains a certain volume of air at 205kPa, and 20°C. The barometric pressure is 100kPa, if due to maintaining conditions the temperature of the air in the tire rises to 70°C, what will be the gage pressure? Assume that the air is an ideal gas and that the tire does not stretch.arrow_forward
