The energy content of a certain food is to be determined in a bomb calorimeter that contains 2.5 kg of water by burning a 2-g sample of it in the presence of 100 g of air in the reaction chamber. If the water temperature rises by 3.2°C when equilibrium is established, determine the energy content of the food, in kJ/kg, by neglecting the thermal energy stored in the reaction chamber and the energy supplied by the mixer. By calculating the rough estimate of the error involved in neglecting the thermal energy stored in the reaction chamber, do you think it is reasonable to disregard the change in the sensible energy content of the reaction chamber in the analysis? The specific heat of water at room temperature is c= 4.18 kJ/kg-°C. The constant-volume specific heat of air at room temperature is cy= 0.718 kJ/kg-°C.

On a hot summer day, you decide to make some iced tea. First, you brew 1.50 L of hot tea and leave it to steep until it has reached a temperature of Ttea = 75.0 ∘C. You then add 0.975 kg of ice taken from the freezer at a temperature of Tice = 0 ∘C. By the time the mix reaches equilibrium, all of the ice has melted. What is the final temperature Tf of the mixture? For the purposes of this problem, assume that the tea has the same thermodynamic properties as plain water. The specific heat of water is c = 4190 J/kg⋅∘C The heat of fusion of ice is Lf = 3.33×105 J/kg The density of the tea is ρ tea = 1.00 kg/L

An isolated piston inside a rigid, isolated cylinder, closed at both ends, has two chambers; one containing a two-phase water mixture and one containing a two-phase mixture of R-134a. If the temperature inside the chamber containing water is 85.9°C, determine the temperature inside the other chamber. Assume mechanical equilibrium. Do you have enough data to calculate the quality in both cases? Justify your answer.

Two identical piston cylinder devices A and B both contain 1 kg of saturated water mixture at the quality ofx = 0.5 at the pressure of p = 100 kPa. Both systems are heated until the quality of the systems reach to x 0.8. However, the system in cylinder A undergoes an internally irreversible heating process but the heating in cylinder B takes place in a reversible manner. At the end of the processes when thermodynamic equilibrium is reached both systems have the same pressure of p = 100 kPa. a) What can be said about the entropy change AS of the systems A and B during these processes ? Compare them in terms of magnitude. Please explain your answer. (You do not need to calculate the exact number for the entropy change) b) Compare the two processes in terms of entropy generation. If you can express the magnitude of Sgen for any of those processes please do.
