If you add boiling water to a cup at room temperature, what would you expect the final equilibrium temperature of the unit to be? You will need to include 1he surroundings as pan of the system. Consider the zeroth law of thermodynamics.
A cylinder containing three moles of nitrogen gas is heated at a constant pressure of 2 atm. The temperature of the gas changes from 300 K to 350 K as a result of the expansion. Find work done (a) on gas, and (b) by the gas by using van der Waals equation of state instead of ideal gas law.
What is the net work output of a heat engine that follows path ABBA in the figure above, with a straight line from B to D? Why is the work output less than for path ABCDA? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem Solving Strategies for Thermodynamics.
One method of converting heat transfer to doing work is for heat transfer into a gas to take place, which expands, dong work on a piston, as shown in the figure below. (a) Is the heat transfer converted directly to work in an isobaric process, or does it go through another form first? Explain your answer. (b) What about in an isothermal process? (c) What about in an adiabatic process (where heat transfer occurred prior to the adiabatic process)?
There is no change in the internal of an ideal gas undergoing an isothermal process since the internal energy depends only on the temperature. Is it therefore correct to say that an isothermal process is the same as an adiabatic process for an ideal gas? Explain your answer. `
Suppose a gasfilled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0C. (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0C (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. What will the actual final pressure be, taking this into account? Is this a negligible difference?
The temperature of a rapidly expanding gas decreases. Explain why in terms of the first law of thermodynamics. (Hint: Consider whether the gas does work and whether heat transfer occurs rapidly into the gas through conduction.)
Does a gas do any work when it expands adiabatically? If so, what is the source of the energy needed to do this work?
