Concept explainers

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.

The attached figure shows a gas contained in a vertical piston– cylinder assembly, where D = 10 cm. A vertical shaft whose cross-sectional area is 0.8 cm2 is attached to the top of the piston. The total mass of the piston and shaft is 25 kg. While the gas is slowly heated, the internal energy of the gas increases by 0.1 kJ, the potential energy of the piston–shaft combination increases by 0.2 kJ, and a force of F = 1668 N is exerted on the shaft as shown in the figure. The piston and cylinder are poor conductors, and friction between them is negligible.The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar and g = 9.81 m/s2. (Patm = 1 bar) Determine, (a) the work done by the shaft, (b) the work done in displacing the atmosphere, and (c) the heat transfer to the gas, all in kJ.

An electric hot water heater consumes 3.1 kilowatts of electricity and converts it to heat. How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem. Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).
EXPERIMENT PROBLEM: A certain mechanical device with a mechanism similar to a piston contains a certain amount of gas. Upon compression from 55 L to 15 L, the gas released 350 J of heat. Experiment shows that the external pressure of the mechanical device is given by: Pext = AsinV + BcosV + CsinhV + DcoshV Where: A = 100 B = 80 C = 1x10⁻²⁵ D = 5x10⁻³⁰ sin = sine function cos = cosine function sinh = hyperbolic sine function cosh = hyperbolic cosine function V = in liters Pext = in atm Determine the change in internal energy of the system in kilojoules. TIP: usually, expressions involving trigonometric functions are in radians.
