INTRODUCTION AND BASIC PRINCIPLES

1.1 (Tutorial). Determine if the following properties of the system are intensive or extensive
properties:

Property Intensive Extensive

Volume
Density
Conductivity
Color
Boiling point (for a liquid)
Number of moles

1.2. State and discuss whether each of the following systems could be analyzed as a closed
or open system.
- A lecture room
- Human body
- A car engine
- The sun
- The universe

1.3. State if the following processes could be considered as quasi-static processes

- A compressed gas escaping from a narrow hole in a reservoir
- Combustion in internal combustion engines
- The cooling process of a cup of coffee at 70 ° C in an environment with a constant
°
temperature of 69.9999 C.

1.4. The state postulate is completely satisfied by:

- Two extensive properties
- One intensive property
- Two intensive, independent properties
- One extensive and one intensive property

1.5. Which thermodynamic property is introduced using the zeroth law of thermodynamics?

1.6. The temperature of a cup of coffee is 23 ° C. Determine the temperature in K, ° F and R?

How does it taste? Investigate the reason why?

1.7 (Tutorial). The temperature of a cup of water drops by 40 ° F when placed in a refrigerator.
How much did the temperature of the water change in ° C and in K.

1.8 (Tutorial). Find the pressure at the bottom the tank including mercury shown in Fig.1.8.
What will be the height if water is used instead of mercury to get the same pressure at the
bottom of the tank? Comment on the solution.

1.9. A manometer is used to determine the pressure in a pressurized vessel containing water.
If the reading shows an elevation of 50 cm. Determine the gage pressure in the vessel? If the
surrounding atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa, determine the absolute pressure in the vessel.

1.10 (Tutorial). The tank shown in Fig. 1.10 contains two different immiscible liquids.
Determine the elevation reading obtained using manometer (1). Determine the elevation
reading obtained using manometer (2). Determine the total pressure at the bottom of the
tank.

1.12. A first-time 1.82-m tall scuba diver submerged himself into the deep sea in a vertical
position and immediately he can feel the difference in pressure level acting on his body and
also the difficulty in manipulating himself in the water. Compute the difference between the
pressure acting at the head and at the toes of the man, in kPa. Assume the density of water
remains asp =1000 kg/m3 .

1.13. The following simple experimental setup is often used in the laboratory to determine the
density of a given unknown fluid. It consists of a tank filled with water <Pwate, = 1000 kg/m3),
divided into two column compartments (see the Figure below). The tested fluid is poured into
one side, immediately resulting in a rise of the water level to a certain height on the other side
due to the density difference between the two liquids. Given the final fluid heights shown on
the figure, compute the density of the tested fluid. Assume the liquid does not mix with water
and Patm = 101 kPa.

1.14. The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the gage pressure of the air in the tank
measured by a meter shown in the figure is found to be 78 kPa. Determine the differential
height h3 of the mercury column if h1 = 0.4 m and h2 = 0.70 m. (note: Pwate, = 1000 kg/m3 , SG on
= 0. 72, SG mercury 13.6 and Patm = 101 kPa).

1.15. A multi-fluid container opened to the atmosphere contains 3 different liquids, i.e., oil Pait
= 900 kg/m3, salted water Pwater = 1035 kg/m3 .and glycerin Pgtycerot = 1260 kg/m3. Determine
the gage pressure at point C if h1 = 80 cm, h2 = 28 cm and h3 = 16 cm.

1.16 (Tutorial). A large gas chamber is separated into compartments 1 and 2, as shown,
which are kept at different pressures. Pressure gauge A reads 280 kPa (gauge pressure of
compartment 1) and the mercury manometer installed between the chambers indicates a
level difference of 880 mm. If the local barometer reads 101 kPa, i) determine the absolute
pressures existing in each compartment, and ii) the reading of gauge C in kPa (gauge
pressure). Density of mercury is 13.6x103 kg/m3 .

PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCE

2.1 Conceptual questions

- Sketch the variation in the saturation pressure of a pure substance as a function of the
saturation temperature

- What is difference between saturated vapor and superheated vapor?

- Explain the difference between the critical point and the triple point?

- Consider a pure water in the saturated liquid-vapor mixture phase, which of the
following combinations of properties enough to fulfill the state postulate:
i) Temperature and pressure
ii) Temperature and quality
iii) Pressure and specific volume
iv) Temperature and specific volume
v) Specific volume and quality

Consider 1 kg of compressed liquid water at a pressure lower than 4 MPa (< 5 MPa)
and a temperature of 100°C, its thermodynamic properties are obtained using:
i) Superheated vapor table considering the same temperature
ii) Saturated liquid-vapor tables considering the same pressure
iii) Saturated liquid-vapor tables considering the same temperature

- Is it possible to have water vapor at 20°C?

- A renowned chef participates a cooking contest where he needs to cook ratatouille in
15 minutes. Should he use a pan that is a) uncovered, b) covered with a light lid or c)
covered with a heavy lid to make sure he can finish his desk within this short period?
Why?
-Does the amount of heat absorbed as 2 kg of saturated liquid water boils at 100°C and
normal pressure have to be equal to the amount of heat released as 2 kg of saturated
vapor condenses at 100°C and normal pressure?
- Does the latent heat of vaporization changes with pressure? Does it take more energy
to vaporize 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 100°C than it needs at 150°C?
- What is vapor quality?
- The ___________ is a point in p-v-T space where solid, liquid and gas phases can
coexist.
- Given two data point (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), write down the equation of line y = f(x). Using
this equation, perform a linear interpolation to determine u [kJ/kg] at x = 270 K if the two
points are given as (250, 2723.5) and (300, 2802.9).

IDEAL GAS EQUATION OF STATE

3.1 If you are a frequent driver, you can easily realize that the pressure in your car tires
depends on the ambient (outside) air temperature. Often, you fill your tires to the
recommended tire pressure of 342 kPa absolute (or 35 psi gauge) during the
summertime when the temperature is 30° C. Assuming that your tires are made by good
brand companies and so these do not leak and their volume stays constant at V = 0.025
m3 , i) what will the tire pressure be during the winter when the temperature is -30° C? ii)
How much air (in kg) would you need to add to the tire in the winter to bring the
pressure back to the recommended pressure? iii) What would the resulting pressure be
the next summer at about the same summer temperature of 30° C, and iv) how much air
(mass) would you need to bleed of (remove) to get back to the recommended pressure?
For Air: Rs = 0.287 kJ/kg-K

3.2 A piston-cylinder device initially contains 36 m3 of an ideal gas at 90 kPa and 25 ° C.

Through a thermodynamic process, the gas is now at 101.3 kPa and 4 ° C. What is the
final volume of the gas?

3.3 Consider the system shown in the figure which consists of two tanks connected by a
valve. One tank contains 4 kg of carbon monoxide at 70 ° C and 75 kPa. The other tank
holds 1O kg of the same gas at 28 ° c and 120 kPa. The valve is opened and the gases
are allowed to mix while receiving energy by heat transfer from the surroundings. The
final equilibrium temperature is 40 ° C. Applying the ideal gas model, determine the final
equilibrium pressure. Note that for carbon mononxide: Rs = 0.2968 kJ/kg-K.

3.4 A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.5 kg of argon at a volume of 0.075 m3 at

600 kPa. The piston position is now adjusted by changing the weights until the volume
doubles its original size, while heat is removed to keep the process isothermal. What is
the final pressure after this process? Note that for argon: Rs = 0.2081 kJ/kg-K.

3.5 We divide a rigid vessel into two parts using a "magic" partition. Let one side of the
vessel filled with an ideal gas at 800 ° C and the other evacuated completely with a
volume twice the size of the part filled with the gas. The partition is then removed to
allow the gas to fill the entire tank. The gas is heated during the process to allow the
pressure equal to the initial pressure. What is the final temperature of the gas inside this
vessel?

3.6 Given a refrigerant-134a vapor at 0.80 MPa and 80° C, determine its specific volume
using a) the thermodynamic table for the refrigerant-134a; b) the ideal gas equation of
state; and c) compressibility chart.

3.7 Given a water vapor at 15 MPa and 350°C, determine its specific volume using a)
the steam table; b) the ideal gas equation of state; and c) compressibility chart.

3.8 Methane gas initially at 8 MPa and 300 K is heated while maintaining
constant pressure in a piston-cylinder device until its final volume has increased
by 50%. Determine the final temperature using a) the ideal gas equation of state;
and b) the compressibility chart.

3.9 A free-moving piston-cylinder device initially contains a saturated vapor of water at a

temperature of 350°C. Heat is added to the system at constant pressure until the vapor
gas volume has doubled. Determine the final temperature using a) the ideal gas
equation of state; b) the compressibility chart; as well as the steam table.

3.1 O There exist different ways to determine the change of an intensive thermodynamic
properties, e.g., using i) the empirical data for h from the nitrogen table; ii) the empirical
specific heat equation as a function of temperature; iii) the Cp value at the average
temperature; iv) Cp value at the room temperature; and v) using specific heat ratio k at
room temperature. In this question, determine the change of internal energy !!.h [kJ/kg]
of nitrogen due to the change of temperature from 500 to 1,200 K using all the
aforementioned methods.

ENERGY TRANSFER BY WORK AND HEAT &
THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

4.1 Air is compressed polytropically along a path for which n = 1.30 in a closed
system. The initial temperature and pressure are 17 C and 100 kPa, respectively, and
the final pressure is 500 kPa. Assume Rs = 0.287 kJ/kgK and average specific heats
cv = 0.723 kJ/kgK and cp = 1.01 kJ/kgK. Calculate: a) the final temperature in K; b) the
work done on the gas, in kJ/kg; and c) the change of specific internal energy.
4.2 A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1m3 of saturated water liquid at 200°C, which
is now expanded isothermally until its quality is 70%. Calculate the final volume and
the total work by this expansion.
4.3 A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.30 kg of Nitrogen at 130 kPa and 190°C,
which is now allowed to expand isothermally to a final pressure of 75 kPa. Compute the
boundary work, in kJ.

4.4 A piston-cylinder device initially contains 40 L of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a. The

piston can move freely without friction and its mass is such that it maintains a pressure of
500 kPa on the refrigerant. What is the resulting work if the refrigerant is heated to a final
temperature of 70°C?

4.5 0.25 kg of steam at 1MPa and 400°C is initially filled inside a piston-cylinder device
made with a set of stops. The location of the stops corresponds to 55% of the
initial volume. Now the steam is cooled. Determine the compression work if the final
state is a) 1MPa and 250°C and b) 500kPa. Also find the temperature at the final state in
part b).
4.6 2 kg of saturated vapor of water at 300 kPa is heated a constant pressure until the
temperature changes to 200 °C. What is the work done by the steam during this process?
4.7 A piston-cylinder device initially has a volume of 8 m3 and contains 1 kg of Helium at
150 kPa. The gas is now compressed to 4 m3 while its pressure is kept

is at 100 kPa and 37°C at the beginning of the compression process, and the maximum pressure in
the cycle is 8 MPa. The compression and expansion process may be modeled as isentropic (i.e.,
polytropic process with n = k = 1.4. Determine a) the temperature at the end of the expansion

Question #1

Steady operating conditions exist. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
From the refrigerant tables,
h1 = h f @ 0.4 MPa = 63.94 kJ/kg
v 1 = v f @ 0.4 MPa = 0.0007907 m 3 /kg

h2 = h1 − wp = 63.94 − ( −0.95) = 64.89 kJ/kg
