Part II 11. Two lbm of air initially at P₁= 15 psia and T₁ = 150 °F undergoes a cycle consisting of the following three reversible processes: a) an adiabatic compression (PVK = Constant) from state 1 to state 2 with P₂ = 45 psia, b) a constant volume process from state 2 to state 3, and c) a constant pressure process back to the initial state (state 1). Assuming constant specific heats and if kair= 1.4 and Rair= 0.3704 psia-ft'/lbm-R (0.06855 Btu/lbm-R), determine: 1) the initial air volume Ans. V₁ = ft³ 2) the temperature of the air at the end of adiabatic process 3) the total volume of the air at the end of adiabatic process Ans. T₂ = Ans. V₂ = °F ft³
Two lbm of air initially at P1 = 15 psia and T1 = 150 F undergoes a cycle consisting of the following three reversible processes:
a) an adiabatic compression (PV^k = Constant) from state 1 to state 2 with P2 = 45 psia
b) a constant volume process from state 2 to state 3, and
c) a constant pressure process back to the initial state (state 1).
Assuming constant specific heats and if kair = 1.4 and Rair = 0.3704 psia-ft^3/lbm-R (0.06855 Btu/lbm-R), determine:
1) The initial air volume, V1
2) The temperature of the air at the end of adiabatic process, T2
3) The total volume of the air at the end of adiabatic process, V2
4) The temperature of the air at the end of the constant volume process
5) the entropy change during the first process, S2 - S1
6) The entropy change during the second process, S3 - S2
7) The total heat transfer during these processes, 1Q2, 2Q3, 3Q1
8) The total net work dorn during the cycle, Wnet
9) Sketch the P-V diagram for the cycle
