Problem 3.20:
One mole of air, initially at 150 0C and 8 bars undergoes the following mechanically reversible changes. It
expands isothermally to a pressure such that when it is cooled at constant volume to 50 0C its final
pressure is 3 bars. Assuming air is an ideal gas for which C P = (7/2) R and CV = (5/2) R, calculate W, Q,
U , and H
Given Data:

Mole of air=n=1mol

Initial Temperature=T 1=150 .C =423.15 K

Problem 3.21:
An ideal gas flows through a horizontal tube at steady state. No heat is added and no shaft work is done.
The cross-sectional area of the tube changes with length, and this causes the velocity to change. Derive an
equation relating the temperature to the velocity of the gas. If nitrogen at 150 0C flows past one section of
the tube with a velocity of 2.5 m/s, what is the temperature at another section where its velocity is 50 m/s?

Problem 3.24:
A process consists of two steps: (1) One mole of air at T = 800 K and P = 4 bars are cooled at constant
volume to T = 350 K. (2) The air is then heated air constant pressure until its temperature reaches 800 K.
If this two step process is replaced by a single isothermal expansion of the air from 800 K and 4 bar to
some final pressure P, what is the value of P that makes the work of two step processes the same? Assume
mechanical reversibility and treat air as an ideal gas with CP = (7/2) R and CV = (5/2) T.
Given Data:

T 1 =800 K

P1=4

T 2 =350 K

P=?

Solution:
For the first step volume is constant
Therefore,

W 12=0
For the work done is

W =W 23=P 2 V (1)

Problem 3.26:
A closed, non-conducting, horizontal cylinder is fitted with non-conducting, frictionless, floating piston
which divides the cylinder in two Sections A & B. The two sections contains equal masses of air, initially at
the same conditions, T1 = 300 K and
P1 = 1 atm. An electrical heating element in section A is activated, and the air temperature slowly
increases: TA in section A because of heat transfer, and T B in section B because of adiabatic compression
by slowly moving piston. Treat air as an ideal gas with C P = (7/2) R and let nA be the number of moles of
air in section A. For the process as described, evaluate one of the following sets of quantities:
a) TA, TB, and Q/ nA, if P (final) = 1.25 atm
b) TB, Q/ nA, and P (final), if TA = 425 K
