Chapter 3.8, Problem 133RP
Consider an 18-m-diameter hot-air balloon that, together with its cage, has a mass of 120 kg when empty. The air in the balloon, which is now carrying two 85-kg people, is heated by propane burners at a location where the atmospheric pressure and temperature are 93 kPa and 12°C, respectively. Determine the average temperature of the air in the balloon when the balloon first starts rising. What would your response be if the atmospheric air temperature were 25°C?

A frictionless piston-cylinder device initially contains 200L of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a. The piston is free to move and its mass is such that it maintains a pressure of 900 kPa on the refrigerant. The refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70C. Calculate the work done during this process. ANS. 5571 KJA fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80°C at a constant pressure of (a) 1 atm and (b) 3 atm. For which case do you think the energy required will be greater?
Air is contained in a piston-cylinder arrangement with an initial volume of 0.02 m³ and at an initial temperature of 77°C. In this state, a manometer installed in the system is 400 kPa. Heat is added in the amount of 42 kJ and work is done by a paddle wheel until the temperature reaches 527°C. If the pressure is kept constant, how much work of the paddle wheel should be added to the gas? Consider the properties of the gas as constants; take the system is well thermally insulated. (RAr~0.2870 kJ/kg - K).
Pressure cookers, in general, maintain a gage pressure of 2 atm (or 3 atm absolute) inside. Therefore, pressure cookers cook at a temperature of about 133°C instead of 100°C, cutting the cooking time by as much as 70 percent while minimizing the loss of nutrients. The newer pressure cookers use a spring valve with several pressure settings rather than a weight on the cover. A certain pressure cooker has a volume of 6 L and an operating pressure of 75 kPa gage. Initially, it contains 1 kg of water. Heat is supplied to the pressure cooker at a rate of 500 W for 30 min after the operating pressure is reached. Assuming an atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa, determine the temperature at which cooking takes place.

- A group of 50 persons attend a secret meeting in a room which is 12 m wide by 10 m long and a ceiling height of 3 m. The room is completely sealed off and insulated. Each person gives off 150 kCal per hour of heat and occupies a volume of 0.20 m³. The room has an initial pressure of 101.3 kPa and temperature of 16°C.

The mass of the piston is such that 600-kPa pressure is required to move it. A valve at the bottom of the tank is opened, and air is withdrawn from the cylinder. The valve is closed when the volume of the cylinder decreases to 80 percent of the initial volume. If it is estimated that 40 kJ of heat is lost from the cylinder, determine (a) the final temperature of the air in the cylinder, (b) the amount of mass that has escaped from the cylinder, and (c) the work done. Use constant specific heats at the average temperature. Air 1.2 kg 700 kPa 200°C Qarrow_forwardIn this example, water is contained in a rigid container with a tight fitting lid. With a pressure of 700 kPa, a mass of 1.78 kg of saturated liquid, and a mass of 0.22 kg of saturated vapour, the saturated liquid has a mass of 1.78 kg and the saturated vapour has a mass of 0.22 kg.

- A piston/cylinder assembly with a spring contains 0.075 kg of water. The piston is initially resting on the stops and the water has a temperature of T1 = 80°C and a quality of x1 = 30%. Heat is added to the water causing the piston to lift off the stops, rise up and compress the spring. Heating contin- ues until a final state is reached and the pressure is 200 kPa. The vertical distance between the top of the piston when it is resting on the stops and the bottom of the spring is Ay = 0.6 m, as shown in the figure.

The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 101.325 kPa on the top of the piston, which has a mass of 50 kg and a face area of 0.10 m. Electric current passes through the resistor, and the volume of the air slowly increases by 2 ft while its pressure remains constant. The mass of the air is 0.32 kg, and its specific internal energy increases by 20 Btu/lb. The air and piston are at rest initially and finally. The piston-cylinder material is a ceramic composite and thus a good insulator.
