Let’s look at a more realistic hot air Say the air inside the balloon is always 10 K warmer than the outside. The pressure inside the balloon is always 1000 Pa greater than outside. The balloon (not counting the air inside) has a mass of 100 kg (consider the volume of this 100 kg to be negligible compared to the total volume) and a total volume of 1000 cubic meters. The surrounding atmosphere is adiabatic, and has a ground temperature of 300 K. How high will the balloon go?

The insulated cylinder shown below is closed at both ends and contains an insulating piston that is flee to move on frictionless bearings. The piston divides the chamber into two compartments containing gases A and B. Originally, each compartment has a volume of 5.0102 m3 and contains a monatomic ideal gas at a temperature of and a pressure of 1.0 atm. (a) How many moles of gas are in each compartment? (b) Heat Q is slowly added to A so that it expands and B is compressed until the pressure of both gases is 3.0 atm. Use the fact that the compression of B is adiabatic to determine the final volume of both gases. (c) What are their final temperatures? (d) What is the value of Q?
A gas at a pressure of 100 atmospheres and temperature of 300 K is suddenly (i.e. adiabatically) compressed from having a volume of 1 liter to a volume of 0.5 liters. What is the new pressure? What if, instead, the compression is done very slowly?
scientist wants to do this experiment but modifies it by filling the balloon with 0.66 moles of neon gas, which behaves as an ideal gas. If the balloon initially holds 0.4 L of the gas and expands to 1.7 L after being heated in the pot over the stove, how much work is done by the system if the experiment is performed at 273 K?”
Two containers each hold 1 mole of an ideal gas at 1 atm. Container A holds a monatomic gas and container B holds a diatomic gas. The volume of each container is halved while the pressure is held constant. (Assume the initial volumes of containers A and B are equal.) (c) What is the ratio QA QB of the energy transferred to gases A and B?
In a thermal process, the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas molecules give out the heat of 30J and work of 10J is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was 40 J, then the final internal energy will be?

a 6.0 cm diameter cyliinder of nitrogen gas has a 4.0 cm thick movable copper piston. the cylinder is oriented vertically as shown in the figure, and the air above the piston is evacuated. when the gas temperature is 25 degree C the piston floats 20 cm above the bottom of the cylinder what is the final height of the piston? how much work is done on the gas as the piston rises?
In Figure 1, we have a box of gas that contains a paddle which, whenturned, does work on the surroundings. The box initially has a partition,and one mole of gas is contained only on one side. When the partition isbroken, the gas will move to occupy the entire box. The gas is heated suchthat it has a constant temperature. (hint: Assume the gas is an ideal gas.For such a gas, its internal energy is a function purely of its temperatureand not its volume and pressure.)a) How much work will the gas do on the surroundings?b) How much heat did it add to the gas during this process?c) What is the gain in entropy of the system?d) The entropy increase is the loss of energy per unit temperature that isavailable to do work. The amount of energy that is no longer available todo work is Q = ST. After this process, how much heat will be available to1do work? Does your answer make physical sense? How much work couldbe done, thinking about this conceptually, after this process?
In the extrusion of cold chocolate from a tube, work is done on the chocolate by the pressure applied by a ram forcing the chocolate through the tube. The work per unit mass of extruded chocolate is equal to p/r, where p is the difference between the applied pressure and the pressure where the chocolate emerges from the tube, and r is the density of the chocolate. Rather than increasing the temperature of the chocolate, this work melts cocoa fats in the chocolate.These fats have a heat of fusion of 150 kJ/kg.Assume that all of the work goes into that melting and that these fats make up 30% of the chocolate’s mass.What percentage of the fats melt during the extrusion if p = 5.5 MPa and r = 1200 kg/m3?
