III. OBJECTIVES
-TO SOLVE AND ANALYZE THE
GIVEN

THERMODYNAMICS

PROBLEMS

IN

CLEARLY AND PRECISE MANNER. ALSO TO


ENHANCE OUR SKILLS AND SHARPEN OUR MIND
SOLVING IN THIS KIND OF THERMODYNAMIC
PROBLEMS.

IV. THEORY AND DISCUSSION


-THERMODYNAMICS IS THE BRANCH OF
PHYSICAL SCIENCE THAT DEALS WITH THE
RELATIONS BETWEEN HEAT AND OTHER FORMS
OF

ENERGY

(SUCH

AS

MECHANICAL,

ELECTRICAL, OR CHEMICAL ENERGY) AND BY


EXTENSION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
ALL FORMS OF ENERGY.

V. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

1. What is the mass in grams and the weight


in dynes and in gram-force of 12 oz. of

salt? Local

is

9.65m/s2

1lbm = 16oz

2. A mass of 0.10 slug in space is subjected


to an external vertical force of 4lb. If the
local gravity acceleration is g=30.5fps^2
and

if

friction

effects

are

neglected,

determine the acceleration of the mass if


the

external

vertical

force

(a)upward and (b)downward.

3. The mass of a given airplane at sea level is


(g= 32.1 fps^2) is 10 tons. Find its mass in
pounds when it is travelling at 50,000 feet.
The acceleration of gravity g decreases by
3.33x10^-6
elevation.

4. A lunar excursion module (LEM) weights


1500 kgf on earth where g = 9.75 mps^2.
(a) What will be its weight on the surface
of the moon (where its g = 1.7 mps^2).
(b) On the surface of the moon, what will
be the force in kgf and in newtons
required to accelerate the module at 10
mps^2?

5. The mass of a fluid system is 0.311 slug,


its density is 30lb/ft^3 and g is 31.90
ft/s^2. Find (a) the specific volume, (b)
the specific weight, and (c) the total
volume.

6. A cylindrical drum (2-ft diameter, 3 - ft


height) is filled with a fluid whose density
is 40 lb/cubic ft. determine (a) the total

volume of the fluid, (b) its total mass in


pounds and slugs, (c) its specific volume,
and (d) its specific weight where g=
31.90fps^2.

7. A

weatherman

carried

an

aneroid

barometer from the ground floor to his


office atop a tower. On the ground level,
the

barometer

read

30.150

in

Hg

absolute; topside it read 28.607 in hg


absolute.

Assume

that

the

average

atmospheric air density was 0.075lb/ft3,


estimate the height of the building.

8. A vacuum gauge mounted on a condenser


reads 0.66 m Hg. What is the absolute
pressure in the condenser in kPa when the
atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa?

9. Convert the following readings of pressure to


kPa absolute, assuming that the barometer
reads 760mm Hg: (a) 90cm Hg gage; (b) 40cm
Hg vacuum; (c) 100psig; (d) 8in Hg vacuum
and (e) 76 in Hg gage.

10. A fluid moves in a steady flow manner


between two sections in a flow line. At
section

1:

A1=10ft2,

v1=100ft/min,

specificvolume1= 4ft3/lb. At section 2:


A2=2ft2, density 2= 0.20 lb./ft3.Calculate
the mass flow rate and speed at section 2.

11. If a pump discharges 75 gpm of water


whose specific weight is 61.5 lb./ft^3 (g =
31.95 fps^2), find (a) the mass flow rate
in lb./min, and (b) total time required to

fill a vertical cylinder tank 10 ft. in


diameter and 12 ft. high.

VI. LEARNINGS
-IN THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS, I
LEARNED TO SOLVE EFFICIENTLY AND
MANIPULATE FORMULA IN EACH GIVEN
PROBLEM EASILY. THIS QUALITY WORK

VII. CONCLUSION
-I CONCLUDE
PROBLEMS

ARE

THAT THE GIVEN

QUITE

DIFFICULT

TO

SOLVE. A NUMBER WITHOUT UNITS LIKE


lb. /ft3 ETC. IS JUST ABOUT MEANING LESS.
AND FOR TEMPERATURE, BE SURE TO
ALWAYS USE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF
THE

IN

EVERY

AND

THE MOST IMPORTANT, USE RATIO AND
