Tutorial 4 Thermodynamics

The document is a tutorial for a thermodynamics and heat transfer course, consisting of two parts. Part 1 includes questions about the differences between heat and work, energy transfer in closed systems, and energy balance equations. Part 2 presents practical problems involving power calculations for vehicles and a fan, as well as energy supplied to a heated air mass in a piston-cylinder device.

Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer


(CHE61404)

Tutorial 4

Part 1
1. What is the difference between heat and work?
2. In what forms can energy cross the boundaries of a closed system?
3. Energy can be transferred in the forms of ………..., work, and ………………. The net
transfer of a quantity is equal to the difference between the amounts transferred in and out.
4. Write the equation of the energy balance in its explicit form.
5. Apply this equation for (a) adiabatic system, (b) system involved no work interactions, (c)
closed systems, (d) closed system undergoing a cycle.

Part 2
1. Consider a 900-kg car cruising steadily on a level road at 80 km/h. Now the car starts climbing
a hill that is sloped 45º from the horizontal. If the velocity of the car is to remain constant
during climbing, determine the additional power that must be delivered b y the engine.
2. If the car in the previous question is to be accelerated from rest to a velocity of 80 km/h in 20 s
on a level road, determine the power required for the acceleration.
3. A damaged 1200-kg car is being towed by a truck. Neglecting the friction, air resistance, and
rolling resistance, determine the extra power required (a) for constant velocity on a level road,
(b) for consent velocity of 50 km/h on a 30º (from horizontal) uphill road, and (c) to accelerate
on level road from stop to 90 km/h in 12 s.
4. Consider a fan located in a 1 m×1 m square duct. Velocities at various points at the outlet are
measured, and the average flow velocity is determined to be 8 m/s. Taking the air density to be
1.2 kg/m3, estimate the minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor.
5. A mass of 15 kg of air in a piston–cylinder device is heated from 25 to 77°C by passing
current through a resistance heater inside the cylinder. The pressure inside the cylinder is held
constant at 300 kPa during the process, and a heat loss of 60 kJ occurs. Determine the electric
energy supplied, in kJ.
