(a) The systems are used as heat reservoirs of a Carnot cycle which does an infinitesimal work dW in each cycle. Show that the final equilibrium temperature of the heat reservoirs is T,T2. (b) Show that the final temperature of the systems if they are brought in contact in a rigid adiabatic container is (T1 + T2)/2.

For irreversible adiabatic expansion or compression of an ideal gas, work is equal to the internal energy change. Select one: True False
Two moles of ethane in a piston-cylinder assembly undergo a reversible adiabatic compression from the initial volume of 0.1 m³ to the final volume of 0.002 m³. The initial pressure is 0.5 bar. Note that if ideal gas, the heat capacity of ethane is given by Cp = 1.131 + 1.9225 x 10-² T-5.561 x 10-6 T², where T is in K. Use the van der Waals equation of state to determine (1) the initial temperature in K (also compares the result with that calculated using the ideal gas law), (2) the final pressure in bar, (3) the final temperature in K, and (4) the work done during this process in J.

Q2: One mole of an ideal gas, initially at 40°C and 1 bar, is changed to 140°C and 12 bar by three different mechanically reversible processes: a- The gas is first heated at constant volume until its temperature is 140°C; then it isc compressed isothermally until its pressure is 12 bar. b- The gas is first heated at constant pressure until its temperature is 140°C; then it is compressed isothermally to 12 bar. c- The gas is first compressed isothermally to 12 bar; then it is heated at constant pressure to 140°C. Calculate Q. W, AU, and AH in each case. Take CP = (7/2)R and CV = (5/2)R. Alternatively, take CP = (5/2)R and CV = (3/2)R.

2 kg of air contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a process from the initial state of T₁ = 400K, v₁ = 0.5 m³ to the final state of T₂ = 600K, v₂ = 0.8 m³. Assume the ideal gas model with cv = 0.72 kJ/kg . K for the air. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. - Can this process occur adiabatically? Demonstrate it with formulas and calculations. If yes, determine the work, in kJ, for an adiabatic process between these states. If not, determine the direction of the heat transfer (in or out of the system). Determine the temperature of the isentropic process with the same initial state, T₁ = 400K, v₁ = 0.5 m³, and the same final specific volume: v₂ = 0.8 m³.
For a thermodynamic process, when delta Hsys > 0, and delta Ssys < 0, the process is (spontaneous at all temperatures, non-spontaneous at all temperatures or spontaneous only at high temperatures).

A fluid at 0.6 bar occupying 0.07 m3 is compressed reversibly to a pressure of 9.5 bar and specific volume of 0.3 m3/kg according to the law pvn = c. The fluid then expands reversibly according to the law pv2 = c to 2.3 bar. A reversible cooling at constant volume then restores the fluid back to initial state. Calculate the work for the compression in the process.
