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).
In a given experiment, we want to study the expansion of a gas from state i to state f by three different paths in the pV diagram. Based on the following figure, where the pressure is indicated in atmospheres and the volume in liters, determine the work done by the gas, in joules: (a) Along the path iaf (b) Along the path if. (c) Along path ibf.
Using 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics for irreversible expansion of Krypton: Krypton (ideal monatomic gas) is confined in one-fourth of a 48-litre container. The other part of the container is evacuated. When the partition is removed, the gas expands and fills the whole container, while the system loses 400J of heat to the environment at 290K. It is found that in the final state, the Krypton is at p2 = 5.5bar, T2 = 400K. Is this process possible or not? (?k?????? = 83.8 kg/kmol)
