Homework 1 Solution

CBE 60553
September 2, 2014

Problem 1
AB
U = 2.5P V + C,

UAB = UB UA = 2.5[(P V )B (P V )A ] = 10000 J


Z VB
dV = 4000 J
WAB = P
VA

UAB = QAB + WAB


QAB = 14000 J

BC
Need pressure as a function of volume along this path. From the figure, the relationship is linear and
given by
P (V ) = 15 106 V + 0.65 106
Integrate to find the work
Z

VC

WBC =


P dV =

VB

15 106 V 2
+ 0.65 106 V
2

From our expression for U


UBC = 2500 J
QBC = 9500 J

CA
UCA = UC UA = 7500 J
Since volume is constant
WCA = 0
Which means
QCA = 7500 J

VC
= 7000 J
VB

Total change ABCA


Qcycle = 14000 7500 9500 = 3000 J
Wcycle = 4000 + 0 + 7000 = 3000 J
Ucycle = Qcycle + Wcycle = 0 J

Problem 2
Along the Parabola
P = 105 + 109 (V 0.02)2
the work can be found by integration
Z

VB

WAB =
VA


.03
P dV = 500000V + 2 107 V 2 3.333 108 V 3 .01 = 2666.67 J

Since
UAB = 10000
then
QAB = 12666.67 J

Problem 3
For an adiabat we know that
dU = P dV
and we can also write



U
U
dU =
dV +
dP
V P
P V

and we have the expression for U


U = 2.5P V + C
taking the partial derivatives
dU = 2.5P dV + 2.5V dP = P dV,
Z
5V dP = 7P dV,

3.5P dV = 2.5V dP

Use Mathematica script to test all three postulates for each function given
For example, for equation a,

1/3
Sa[u , v , n ]:= R2 ( )
(n v u)1/3
(*II*)Sa[, , ]
(*III*)D[Sa[U, 1, 1], U ]
(*IV*)D[Solve[Sa[U, 1, 1] == s, U ], s]
R = 2, v = 1, = 1

Problem 5
Call
X=

UA
UA + UB

we know UA + UB = 80, therefore


UB = 80 (1 X)

UA = 80X,
Then setting R, 0 , = 1 and plugging in VA , NA

SA = (NA VA UA )1/3 = 0.129X 1/3


Similarly
SB = (NB VB UB )1/3 = 0.086(1 X)1/3
Summing to get S
S = 0.129X 1/3 + 0.086(1 X)1/3
Entropy is maximized when X = .65, which is where we would expect the system to go to at
equilibrium once the internal wall is made diathermal. When that happens
X = 0.65, UA = 80X = 52 J
UB = 28 J
An alternative non-graphical method is to solve for where
S

U
Since

X = 0.6475,

UA = 51.8,

UB = 28.2

which is just a higher precision calculation than my first estimate from the plot.
