Assignment No. 1

Subject: Engineering Thermodynamics (ME21002) Semester: 4th

1) A piston-cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of refrigerant 134a at -10o C. The


piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The
local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to refrigerant
134a until the temperature is 15o C. Determine (a) the final pressure, (b) the
change in the volume of the cylinder, and (c) the change in the enthalpy of
the refrigerant 134a.

2) A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.07 m3 of nitrogen gas at 130


kPa and 180o C. The nitrogen is now expanded to a pressure of 80 kPa
polytropically with a politropic exponent whose value is equal to the specific
heat ratio (called isentropic expansion). Determine the final temperature and
the boundary work done during this process.

3) Write down the first law of thermodynamics? Formulate this for close
system. Also mention the relation between work and heat transfer when a
close system exhibits a cyclic process.

4) Determine the boundary work for polytropic process given by 𝑃𝑣 𝑛 = 𝐶.

5) A rigid container equipped with a stirring device contains 1.5 kg of motor


oil. Determine the rate of specific energy increase when heat is transferred to
the oil at a rate of 1 W, and 1.5 W of power is applied to the stirring device.

6) A fluid is confined in a cylinder by a spring-loaded frictionless piston so that


the pressure in the fluid is a linear function of the volume (p = a + bV). The
internal energy of the fluid is given by the following equation: U = 34 +
3.15 pV where U is in kJ, p in kPa, and V in m 3. If the fluid changes from an
initial state of 170 kPa, 0.03 m3 to a final state of 400 kPa, 0.06 m3, with no
work other than that done on the piston, find the direction and magnitude of
the work and heat transfer.

7) A fluid contained in a cylinder receives 150 kJ of mechanical energy by


means of a paddle wheel, together with 50 kJ in the form of heat . At the
same time, a piston in the cylinder moves in such way that the pressure
remains constant at 200 kN/m2 during the fluid expansion from 2 m3 to 5 m3.
What is the change in internal energy and in enthalpy?

8) In a steady flow apparatus, 135 kJ of work is done by each kg of fluid. The


specific volume of the fluid, pressure, and velocity at the inlet are 0.37
m3/kg, 600 kPa, and 16 m/s. The inlet is 32 m above the floor, and the
discharge pipe is at the floor level. The discharge conditions are 0.62 m 3/ kg,
100 kPa, and 270 m/s. The total heat loss between the inlet and discharge is
9 kJ/kg of fluid. In flowing through this apparatus, does the specific internal
energy increase or decrease, and by how much?

9) Air enters an insulated diffuser operating at steady state with a pressure of


0.7 bar, a temperature of 5.7 oC and a velocity of 200 m/s. At the exit the
pressure is 1 bar. The exit flow area is 20% greater than the inlet flow area.
Potential energy effects can be neglected. Determine the air exit temperature
and the velocity. Take cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K
