- Air is contained in a piston cylinder arrangement as shown in Fig.(Refer attachment). The piston can be assumed to be massless, frictionless, and perfectly insulated. 10 kg of dry ice (solid CO2) is placed on top of the piston. The initial conditions for air inside the cylinder are P1=121 kPa, T1= 300 K. Dry ice sublimates gradually, and its mass reduces to 5 kg. Ambient air is always at room temperature (27oC) and atmospheric pressure. (Given: R=287 J/kg ·K, g = 9.8 m/s2, CP/CV for air = 1.4; Neglect all heat transfer to the dry ice block.) a)Assuming the cylinder to be perfectly insulated, calculate the specific work done for the process. b)Assuming the cylinder to be perfectly conducting, what is the heat required per unit mass of air to complete the process? c) Plot the processes described in (a) and (b) together on a P-V diagram. From this plot, which process appears to have more work? Explain.arrow_forwardWe define the specific ideal gas constant Rgas for a particular gas as the ratio of the universal gas constant and the molar mass (also called molecular weight) of the gas, Rgas = Ru/M. For a particular gas, then, the ideal gas law is written as follows: PV = mRgasT or P = ρRgasT where P is pressure, V is volume, m is mass, T is absolute temperature, and ? isthedensityoftheparticulargas.Whatare the primary dimensions of Rgas? For air, Rair = 287.0 J/kg·K in standard SI units. Verify that these units agree with your result.arrow_forwardAir is contained in a piston cylinder arrangement as shown in Fig. The piston can be assumed to be massless, frictionless, and perfectly insulated. 10 kg of dry ice (solid CO2) is placed on top of the piston.

- A tank of air is expanded via heat transfer at a constant pressure such that its volume is 2.5 times its original volume. If the initial temperature of the tank was 23 Celsius, what is the amount of heat transfer required for this process in kJ/kg?

How can you apply this knowledge if you are caught inside a burning building?arrow_forward(1) In this experiment, you will start with a chamber (pressure vessel) filled with air at ambient conditions. a. In the first part of the experiment, this pressure vessel is quickly filled with compressed air until the pressure inside the vessel is as much as ten times that of the ambient condition. What do you think will happen to the temperature inside the chamber during the filling process? Will it increase, decrease or remain the same? Why? b. After the vessel is pressurized, you will let it equilibrate for several minutes. What will happen to the vessel temperature during this time? Why? c. You will then open the vent valve and allow air to leave the chamber until the pressures are equilibrated (vessel pressure returns to the ambient pressure condition.) While the tank vents to the atmosphere will the temperature inside the tank increase, decrease or remain the same? Why? (2) If the pressure vessel is not truly adiabatic, how will the predictions from Question 1 change?…arrow_forward
