TOPIC 2: PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCES

TUTORIAL 2-2: Ideal Gas

1) 0.04 kg of a certain perfect gas occupies a volume of 0.0072 m 3 at a pressure 6.76 bar and a temperature
of 127oC. Calculate the molecular weight of the gas (M). When the gas is allowed to expand until the
pressure is 2.12 bar the final volume is 0.065 m 3. Calculate the final temperature.

2) Mass of a perfect gas is 0.07 kg and the volume is 0.007 m 3 at a pressure of 8 bar and a temperature of
132oC. The gas expands until the volume becomes 0.10m3 at a temperature of 900oC. Calculate:

a) Gas constant, R
b) Molecular weight, M
c) Final pressure

3) In the cylinder of a large engine, 1.0 kg of carbon dioxide at 527 o C and 20 bar expands isothermally to a
pressure of 1.4 bar. What is the final volume of the gas?
Take R = 189 Nm/kgK for carbon dioxide.

4) Determine the mass of gas which is contained in a storage tank at a pressure of 10 bar and a temperature
of 40oC. The width, length and height of each storage tank is 2 m, 5 m and 3 m respectively. The gas
constant is 0.287 kJ / kg.K. Assume that the gas is perfect.

5) 3.4 kg of gas is heated at a constant volume of 0.92 m 3 and temperature 17oC until the temperature rose
to 147oC. If the gas is assumed to be a perfect gas, determine:
a) The heat flow during the process
b) The beginning pressure of gas
c) The final pressure of gas

6) A certain perfect gas has specific heat as follows:


Cp = 0.846 kJ/kg K and Cv = 0.657 kJ/kg K
Find the gas constant and the molecular weight of the gas.

7) Two kilograms of a gas receive 200 kJ as heat at constant volume process. If the temperature of the gas
increases by 100oC, determine the Cv of the process.

8) Heat is supplied to a gas in a rigid container. The mass of the container is 1 kg and the volume of gas is
0.6 m3. 100 kJ is added as heat. If gas has Cv = 0.7186 kJ/kg K during a process, determine the:
a) Change in temperature
b) Change in internal energy

9) 0.055m3 of gas is filled in a close container is at 500kN/m2 and 55o C. The gas is compressed until the
pressure and temperature increases to 1.6 MN/m 2 and 90oC respectively. Assume that the gas acts as a
perfect gas and gas constant of the gas is 0.29 kJ/kgK, determine:
a) Mass of the gas
b) Molecular weight of the gas
c) Final volume

10) 0.775 m3 of oxygen is filled in a container at 2.5 bar and 20 oC. The gas is compressed isothermally and
reversible until 7.5 bar. Assume that oxygen is an ideal gas and molecular weight of oxygen is 32 kg/kmol,
calculate:
a) Gas constant
b) Mass of the gas
c) Final volume of the gas
