Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.

A piston-cylinder device as shown in Figure 1-7, initially contains 0.75 kg of refrigerant- 134a at 120 kPa and 20°C. Heat is now transferred to the refrigerant from a source at 150°C, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 140 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the temperature reaches 90°C. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa, determine: (a) the work done, (b) the heat transfer, (c) the exergy destroyed, (d) the second law efficiency of this process.

As the insulation around an adiabatic and frictionless piston-cylinder system is removed, 42500 J heat is lost to the surrounding. As a result, the gas in the cylinder contracts and hence 400 dm3 volume of the gas in the cylinder becomes half. Having that the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the weight on the piston exerts additional 5 kPa, determine the change in the internal energy of the gas during this process.
a) A gas is trapped in a piston-cylinder device. The initial pressure and temperature of the gas are 500 kPa and 300 K, respectively. The system undergoes an isothermal expansion process, in which 15KJ of boundary work is done by the gas and 3KJ of paddle-wheel work is done on the gas. Determine the amount heat transfer during this process. Explain the direction of the heat transfer.
An inventor claims to have devised a process using only saturated steam at 100C which by a complicated series of steps, make heat continuously available at T of 177C. He claims further that, for every kilogram of steam taken into the process, 1800 kJ of energy as heat is liberated at this higher T of 177C. Show whether or not such a process is possible. In order to give the inventor the benefit of any doubt, assume cooling water to be available in unlimited quantity at 0C. topic: introduction to chemical engineerint thermodynamics
Heat flows through a wall of a house at a steady-state on a day when the temperature of the outdoor air is 2°C and the air inside the house is maintained at 27°C. The temperatures of the inner surface of the wall is 2°C cooler than indoor air temperature. And the temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 3°C warmer than the outdoor air temperature. The rate of heat transfer through the wall is 964W. Determine the rate of total entropy generation associated with this heat transfer process (in W/K).

A 50-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a well-sealed 75-m3 room. Both the air in the room and the oil in the radiator are initially at the environment temperature of 6°C. Electricity with a rating of 2.4 kW is now turned on. Heat is also lost from the room at an average rate of 0.75 kW. The heater is turned off after some time when the temperatures of the room air and oil are measured to be 20°C and 60°C, respectively. Taking the density and the specific heat of oil to be 950 kg/m3 and 2.2 kJ/kg⋅°C, determine the exergy destruction.
