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.

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 kN/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.

Solution  T1 = 300K

V1 = 0.002 m^3 

V2  = 0.03 m^3

Spring constant (K) = 10 KN/m

A = 0.02 m^2

Patm = 100 KPa 

Psp = pressure applied by spring

Patm = pressure applied by atmosphere

P1 = inside pressure of piston at position one 

P2 = inside pressure of piston at position two

 

P1 =  Patm + Psp1   ……………..............................(0) 

                                                 ( Psp1 = pressure of  spring at position one  is zero =0)

P1 = Patm = 100 KPa ………………………………………..(1)

P2 = Patm + Psp2

P2 = 100 + Psp2 ………………………………………………..(2)

We need to find displacement “x” and pressure “Psp2”

V2 – V1 = A2x

0.003 – 0.002 = 0.02x

 x = 0.05 m   ………………………………………......…..…….(3)

Now

Psp2 = F/A2  = kx/A2                    (F= spring force, A2 = area of piston at position 2)

Put value of "x" in equation (4)

Psp2 = 10x/0.02 = 25 KPa     …………………………..(4)

Put “Psp2” value in equation (2)

P2 = 100 + Psp2

P2 = 100 +  25 = 125 KPa    ……………………………..(5)

Final pressure inside the cylinder is P2 =125 KPa

Question 1. The reading tA and tB of two centigrade scale thermometers A and B graded at ice point 0°C and steam point 100°C are related by the equation tA=l +mtB+n(tB)², where l, m,n are constants. When both are immersed in oil then thermometer A reads 51°C and thermometer B reads 50 °C. determine the reading on thermometer A when thermometer B reads 25°C? Comment on the question "which thermometer is correct".

Thermodynamics Question solution, Chapter1 Zeroth law of thermodynamics. Question 1. The reading tA and tB of two centigrade scale thermometers A and B graded at ice point 0°C and steam point 100°C are related by the equation tA=l +mtB+n(tB)², where l, m,n are constants. When both are immersed in oil then thermometer A reads 51°C and thermometer B reads 50 °C. determine the reading on thermometer A when thermometer B reads 25°C? Comment on the question "which thermometer is correct". Ans- tA=l+mtB+n(tB)² According to question tA=tB=0°C tA=l+mtB+n(tB)² 0=l+0+0 l=0 Second step tA=tB=100°C tA=l+mtB+n(tB)² 100=0+m×100+n(100)² m+100n=1             ----------------------------(1) For tA=51°C tB=50°C tA=l+mtB+n(tB)² 51=0+M50+n(50)² -----------------------------(2) Now using equation (1) and (2) find m&n 50m+2500n=51 50m+5000n=50 -        -             - ________________ ...

Q1.Prove that PV^Y=C for reversible adiabatic process.

 Q1.Prove that PV^Y=C for reversible adiabatic process. Solution:        δQ = dU + PdV Reversible Adiabatic: δQ=0              (:: There is no heat interaction between                                                                   system and surroundings = adiabatic  dU + dV = 0 dU = -PdV m(Cv)dT = -PdV  ----------------------------------------------(1) Now we want 'Y' , so, We know      H = U + PV                  dH = dU + PdV + VdP                  dH =   δQ + VdP (:: There is no heat interaction δQ =0)              dH = VdP       m(Cp)dT = VdP       -------------...
