Chapter 3.8, Problem 140FEP

Consider a sealed can that is filled with refrigerant-134a. The contents of the can are at the room temperature of 25°C. Now a leak develops, and the pressure in the can drops to the local atmospheric pressure of 90 kPa. The temperature of the refrigerant in the can is expected to drop to (rounded to the nearest integer)

  1. (a)   0°C
  2. (b)   −29°C
  3. (c)   16°C
  4. (d)   5°C
  5. (e)   25°C

ReadSpeaker webReader: Listen             In a reservoir, the pressure of a compressed gas must not be increased past 825 kPa.  The gauge indicated 388 kPa when the temperature is 24oC.  Determine the maximum temperature which can safely be attained in the reservoir
A 2-m3 rigid vessel contains helium initially at a gage pressure and temperature of 320 kPa and 315 K respectively. Because of the leaks in the fittings of the vessel, the gage pressure dropped to 280 kPa and the temperature decreased to 300 K, determine the mass of the helium that leaked out and also the mass of nitrogen that remained in the vessel. (Ans. 0.06399 kg, 1.2240 kg)
The combustion in a gasoline engine may be approximated by a constant volume heat addition process. There exists the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder before the combustion and the combustion gases after it, and both may be approximated as air, an ideal gas. In a gasoline engine, the cylinder conditions are 0.95 MPa and 425 °C before the combustion and 1700°C after it. Determine the pressure at the end of the combustion process.
