- A cryogenic substance is found to have a specific heat capacity (at constant volume) c_v that varies with temperature according to c_v = AT^2, where A is an empirically derived constant with units J/(K^3 kg). If 220 J of energy must be transferred thermally (at constant volume) to an 8,750 mg sample of this substance to raise the temperature of the sample from 1.0 K to 6.6 K, what is the value of A? Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forwardThe 1st law of thermodynamics is ΔU = Q –W. Use this statement of the 1st law to show (mathematically) its equivalent statement: “Total energy of the universe is constant”. Here, the universe can be defined as: system + surroundings (everything but the system –everything outside the system). (Hint: this can be shown by two ways-you may either treat system and surroundings as two systems next to each other, or you may treat system + surroundings (universe) as one system.)arrow_forwardMatch the laws accordingly. 1.1st law of thermodynamics 2.2nd law of thermodynamics (foward engine) 3.Joules law 4.2nd law of thermodynamics (reverse engine) 5.3rd law of thermodynamics 6.second law of thermodynamics (Carnot) A. The internal energy of a perfect gas is a function of the absolute temperature only B. No Heat Engine can be more efficient than a Reversible Heat Engine operating between the same temperature limits C. A pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is in perfect order, and its entropy is zero D. When a system undergoes a complete cycle, the net Heat supplied plus the net Work input is zero. E. It is impossible for a heat engine to produce a net work output in a complete cycle if it exchanges heat only with a single energy reservoir. F. It is impossible to construct a device that operating in a cycle will produce no effect other than the transfer of heat from a cooler to a hotter body.arrow_forward
- The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number that is often used to determine if an individual is a healthy weight. The function for finding an individual's BMI is: 720w f(w, h) = which could also be written as f(w,h) = (720w) ÷ h? h2 where w = weight in pounds and h = height in inches. Use the BMI function to find the BMI for individuals with the following weights and heights: Round your answers to the nearest tenth. weight = 106 pounds and height = 57 inches 22.90 weight = 200 pounds and height = 68 inches 30.40 weight = 219 pounds and height = 78 inches Number weight = 210 pounds and height = 76 inches Numberarrow_forwardWhen you add heat to a system, by how much does its temperature change?arrow_forwardThe molar heat capacities of substances varies with temperature. The general function for determining the molar heat capacity is given below; Cp = ( a + b T + c T 2 )R . In case of a gas where a = 3.245, b = 7.108 x10 ^-4 K ^-1 , and c = -4.06 x10^ -8 K ^-2 for temperatures in the range of 300 Kelvins to 1,500 Kelvins. What is the heat capacity (in Joules per Kelvin per mole) of this gas at 1,500 kelvins? NOTE: Express answer in THREE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.arrow_forward

True or Falsearrow_forwardAs shown in Figure 1, a vertical piston-cylinder assembly containing a gas is placed on a hot plate. The piston with a mass of 43 kg initially rests on the stops. With the onset of heating, the gas pressure increases. At what pressure, in bar, does the piston start rising? The piston moves smoothly in the cylinder and g=9.81 m/s?.

- For a refrigerator or air conditioner, the coefficient of performance K (often denoted as COP) is the ratio of cooling output Qc to the required electrical energy input W, both in joules. The coefficient of performance is also expressed as a ratio of powers, |Qc\/t K |W\/t where |Qc|/t is the cooling power and W/t is the electrical power input to the device, both in watts. The energy efficiency ratio (EER) is the same quantity expressed in units of Btu for Qc and W h for W|. Part A Derive a general relationship that expresses EER in terms of K. Express your answer in terms of K. EER = Submit Request Answerarrow_forwardA gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: Process 1-2: Constant volume from p₁ = 1 bar, V₁ = 4 m³ to state 2, where p2 = 2 bar. Process 2-3: Compression to V3 = 2 m³, during which the pressure-volume relationship is pV = constant. Process 3-4: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 1 m³. Sketch the processes in series p-V coordinates and evaluate the work for each process, in kJ. Hint: Draw all the processes neatly on P-V diagram. Denote the states 1-4. Do not forget to add arrows.arrow_forward* Your answer is incorrect. A gas undergoes a process in a piston-cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv¹.2 = constant. 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 = 300 lbf/in.² During the process, heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the change in specific internal energy of the gas, in Btu/lb. Δu = i | 76.53 Btu/lbarrow_forward
