Engineering Thermodynamics (CH161)

Tutorial-1
1. 1-16C: How would you define a system to determine the rate at which an automobile adds
carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?

2. 1-18C: A can of soft drink at room temperature is put into the refrigerator so that it will
cool. Would you model the can of soft drink as a closed system or as an open system?
Explain.

3. 1-20C: How would you describe the state of the air in the atmosphere? What kind of
process does this air undergo from a cool morning to a warm afternoon?

4. 1-23C: Is the number of moles of a substance contained in a system an extensive or


intensive property?

5. 1-30C: Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0°C at the ice
point and 100°C at the steam point. The distance between the two points is divided into
100 equal parts in both thermometers. Do you think these thermometers will give exactly
the same reading at a temperature of, say, 60°C? Explain.

6. 1-31C: Consider two closed systems A and B. System A contains 3000 kJ of thermal
energy at 20°C, whereas system B contains 200 kJ of thermal energy at 50°C. Now the
systems are brought into contact with each other. Determine the direction of any heat
transfer between the two systems.

7. 1-83: The boiling temperature of water decreases by about 3°C for each 1000 m rise in
altitude. What is the decrease in the boiling temperature in (a) K, (b) °F, and (c) R for each
1000-m rise in altitude?

8. 1-38C: Explain why some people experience nose bleeding and some others experience
shortness of breath at high elevations.

9. 1-44: pressure gage connected to a tank reads 500 kPa at a location where the atmospheric
pressure is 94 kPa. Determine the absolute pressure in the tank.
