Q. A 1 gm nitrogen undergoes a following sequence of process in a piston cylinder arrangement.(1) An adiabatic expansion in which volume double. (2) A constant pressure process in which volume is reduced to its initial state. Represent the cycle on p -v diagram, calculate net work done by the gas. Assuming t1 = 150°C , P1 = 5 atm, Y = 1.4, R = 297 J/kg K. Solution: t1 = 150°C T1 = 150 + 273 = 423 K P1 = 5 × 1.01325 = 5.06625 bar Process (1-2): T2/T1 = (V1/V2)^Y-1 T2/423 = (V1/2V1)^1.4-1 T2 = 320.5K Process(2-3): T3/T2 = V1/V2 T3/T2 = V1/2V1 T3 = T2/2 T3=320.5/2=160.25K Now : W(net) = W(1-2) + W(2-3) + W(3-1) W(net) = P1V1 -P2V2/Y-1 + P3V3 -P2V2 + 0 W(net) = mR(T1-T2)/Y-1 + mR(T3-T2) W(net) = 10^-3 × 297(423 - T2)/1.4 -1 + 10^-3×297(T3 - T2) W(net) = 10^-3 × 297(423 - 320.5)/0.4 + 10^-3×297(160.25 - 320.5) W(net) = 28.86 J

Q1. A stone is thrown vertically upwards and its reaches back to ground after 5 seconds find u and the max height stone will attain.

Q1. A stone is thrown vertically upwards and its reaches back to ground after 5 seconds find 'u' and the max height stone will attain. Solution: s = ut + 1/2 at^2 0 = u(5) + 1/2(-9.81)(5)^2 (9.81/2)(5×5/5) = u u = 4.905×5 u= 24.55 m/sec Now we find maxi height V^2 = u^2 + 2as 0 = (24.55)^2 + 2(-9.81)s 24.55×24.55/2(9.81) = s s = 30.72 m

Question 2. An insulated pressure vessel divided into two parts. One part of vessel is occupiedby an ideal gas at a pressure P1, volume V1 & temp T1.The other part occupied by the same gas at a pressure P2, volume V2, & temp T2. The partition is removed and the two parts are mixed. Then show that the final pressure P3 & final T3 is

Thermodynamics Chapter: First law of Thermodynamics Question 2. An insulated pressure vessel divided into two parts. One part of vessel is occupiedby an ideal gas at a pressure P1, volume V1 & temp T1.The other part occupied by the same gas at a pressure P2, volume V2, & temp T2. The partition is removed and the two parts are mixed. Then show that the final pressure P3 & final T3 is Solution: Same ideal gas PV = mRT ...................................................................(1) Mass Conservation : m1+m2 = m3 ......................................(2) Energy conservation: m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m3 u3 m1 Cv T1 + m2 Cv T2 = m3 Cv T3 m1 T1 + m2 T2 = m3 T3 Use PV = mRT, P1 V1/ R + P2 V2/R = P3 V3/R "R" Is canceled out with each other, so P1 V1 + P2 V2 + = P3 V3 P3 = P1 V1 + P2 V2/V3 (:: V3= V1+V2 ) P3 = P1 V1+ P2

Question 1. Air at initial temp of 300K & initial volume of 0.002 m^3 is contain in a piston cylinder arrangement. Initially a spring is attached to the piston having a spring constant of 10 k N/m is touching the piston but no force exerting on it. Now heat is added to the air & it expended slowly to occupy a final volume of 0.03 m^3 and the area of piston is 0.02 m^2. The atmospheric pressure assume to be 100KPa. Then determine the final pressure inside the cylinder.
