uestion 4:
(a) An 88-litre gas cylinder is filled with propane gas at a pressure of 1.15 MPa
and 18°C. The propane is used to fuel a gas burner. After some time, the
pressure and temperature are 210 kPa and 23°C respectively. Determine the
mass of propane used. The molar mass of propane is 44 g/mole.
(b) A piston-cylinder device filled with air at 365 kPa and 12°C, has an initial volume of
1.3 litres. The air is expanded at constant pressure to a volume of 3.6 litres and 516°C.
Determine the amount of heat and work involved in this process and state whether the
heat and work are into, or out of the gas.
A mixture of gases is assembled by first filling an evacuated 0.39-m3 tank with neon until the pressure is 35 kPa. Oxygen is added next until the pressure increases to 105 kPa. Finally, nitrogen is added until the pressure increases to 140 kPa. During each step of the tank’s filling, the contents are maintained at 60°C. Determine the mass of each constituent in the resulting mixture.
The mass of neon is kg.
The mass of oxygen is kg.
The mass of nitrogen is kg.
A mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide has a carbon dioxide mass fraction of 50 percent. This mixture is heated at constant pressure
in a closed system from 120 kPa and 30°C to 220°C. Calculate the work produced during this heating in kJ/kg. The universal gas
constant is Ru= 8.314 kJ/kmol-K. Use the table containing the molar mass, gas constant, and critical-point properties.

- Gaseous hydrogen weakens the mechanical strength of cast iron. this phenomenon often occurs in cast iron pressure vessels containing 100% gas hydrogen. H2 gas dissolves in metallic iron and diffuses into solid non-porous iron by an interstitial diffusion mechanism. H2 gas does not need to penetrate far into the iron to have a negative effect on the mechanical strength of iron. In the present situation, 100% of H2 gas at 1.0 atm and 100°C is contained within a 1.0 m internal diameter and wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The solubility of hydrogen in iron in 100°C is 2.2x10-7 mol of H/g Fe atoms. The diffusion coefficient of atoms of hydrogen in solid iron is 124.0x10-9 cm2 /sec at 100°C.
