Assumptions: 1 - Gravitational acceleration is uniform.2 - Density of the water is uniform.

Solution :Part a.)

Eqn 1 Eqn 2

We can solve Eqn 2 for the weight of the water, W.

Eqn 3

Eqn 4

Plugging values into Eqn 1 yields : m 9.008 lbm

Now, we can plug values into Eqn 3 to evaluate the weight of the water.

W 8.539 lbf

Part b.) This is a straightforward application of the definition of density.

Eqn 5

62.12 lbm/ft3

Answers : a.) b.)

W 8.54 lbf 62.12 lbm/ft3

The next step in determining the weight of the water is to convert from the given number of moles to mass using:

None of the assumptions made in the solution of this problem can be verified based on the given information.

Since we determined m in part (a) and the volume of the water was given, all we need to do is plug values into Eqn 5.

ENGR 224 - Thermodynamics

A closed system consists of 0.5 lbmole of liquid water and occupies a volume of 0.145 ft3. Determine the weight of the system, in lbf, and

the average density, in lbm/ft3, at a location where the acceleration of gravity is g = 30.5 ft/s2.

The key ideas here are the meaning of lbmole, the use of gc in Newton's 2nd Law of Motion and the definition of density.

The key here is the ralationship between mass and force, in this case weight, given by Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

This leaves us with : Eqn 6

Now, we can solve Eqn 6 for the unknown variable Wmoon.

Eqn 7

Plugging values into Eqn 7 yields : Wmoon 35.79 lbf

Verify : None.

Answers : Wmoon 35.8 lbf


A man weighs 210 lbf at a location where g = 32.10 ft/s2. Determine his weight on the moon where g = 5.47 ft/s2.

The keys to this problem are to understand that mass does not depend on location, but weight does and how to apply Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

The key here is the ralationship between mass and force, in this case weight, given by Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

The key is that gc and the mass of the object are constants. So, if we take the ratio of Eqn 3 to

Eqn 4, these terms will cancel !

We can now apply Eqn 2 to the object when it is on the moon and again to the object when it is on the surface of the Earth.

Problem : 1.41E - Temperature Change - 3 pts 6-Apr-11

Read :

Given : T 10 oF

Find : a.) T ??? oC c.) T ??? oRb.) T ??? K

Assumptions: None.

Solution :Part a.) A change in temperature of 1 oC is equal to a change in temperature of 1.8oF.

Ratio = 1.8 oF / oC

Therefore : Eqn 1

T 5.56 oC

Part b.) A change in temperature of 1 oC is exactly the same as a change in temperature of 1 K.

RatioKC = 1 K / oC

Therefore : Eqn 2

Therefore it is easy to write the answer to part (b). T 5.56 K

Part c.)

RatioRK = 1.8 oR / K

Eqn 3

Plugging values into Eqn 3 yields : T 10 oR

Eqn 4

Plugging values into Eqn 3 yields : T 10 oR

Verify : None.

Answers : a.) T 5.6 oC c) T 10 oR

b.) T 5.6 K

The temperature of water changes by 10oF during a process. Express this temperature change in Celsius, Kelvin and Rankine units.


It is very important to understand that a change in temperature is not the same as a value of the temperature. It seems obvious, but it is common point of confusion.

One way to do this part of the problem is to use the result from part (b) and the converion factor for Kelvins and degrees Rankine.

Of course, it would be even easier to recognize that a change in temperature of 1 oF is exactly the same as a change in

temperature of 1 oR.

Problem : 1.78 - Differential, Multi-Fluid Manometer - 6 pts 6-Apr-11

Hg 13590 kg/m3

Read : This problem requires the careful application of the Manometer Equation.

The key is that none of the fluid in the manometer tubes is moving.

Given : h1 0.60 m FW 1000 kg/m3

h2 0.10 m SW 1035 kg/m3

h3 0.70 m Hg 13590 kg/m3

h4 0.40 m

Find : PSW-PFW ??? kPa

Assumptions: 1 - The acceleration of gravity is uniform.2 - The density of the mercury is uniform.3 - The density of the water is uniform.4 -5 - None of the fluids inside the tubing are moving.

Solution :

Eqn 1

Eqn 2

Eqn 3

Eqn 4

Because the density of air is three orders of magnitude smaller than the density of liquid water or mercury :

Let's use the Manometer Equation to work our way around from the seawater pipe to the fresh water pipe.

Because the elevation at points 3 and 4 is the same, the manometer fluid is not moving and points 3 and 4 are connected by a tube filled with mercury only: P4 = P3.

The density of the air is negligible. Therefore, P1 = P2.


Fresh water and seawater flowing in parallel, horizontal pipelines are connected to each other by a double u-tube manometer, as shown in the figure. Determine the pressure difference between the two pipelines in kPa. Assume the density of seawater to be

1035 kg/m3. Can the air column be ignored in this analysis ?

By working from one pipe to the other we can determine the difference in the pressure between the two pipes.

Problem : WB-2 - Absolute and Gauge Pressures - 5 pts 6-Apr-11

Read : The focus of this problem is the meaning of gauge pressure.

In this case, the pressure gauge indicates PA - PB, where PA and PB are absolute pressures.

Given : PA,gauge 1.4 bar gauge Patm 101 kPa

Hg 13.59 g/cm3 g 9.81 m/s2

h 20 cm gc 1 kg-m/N-s2

Find : PA ??? kPa PB ??? kPa

Assumptions: 1 - The acceleration of gravity is uniform.2 - The density of the mercury is uniform.3 -

4 - The mercury in the manometer is not moving.

Solution :

Because the manometer tube is open at the end, P1 = Patm. P1 101 kPa

The general form of the Manotmeter Equation is :

Eqn 1

Applying Eqn 1 to our manometer gives us :

Eqn 2

Because the elevation at points 2 and 3 is the same, the manometer fluid is not moving and points 2 and 3 are connected by a tube filled with mercury only: P3 = P2.

Let's use the Manometer Equation to work our way around from point 1 on the diagram all the way to the inside of tank A.

The key is that a pressure guage indicates the difference between the pressure inside the pipe or vessel to which it is attached and the pressure outside of the pressure gauge.

The density of the air is negligible. Therefore, the pressure inside each tank is uniform.


Tank A lies inside of Tank B, as shown in the figure. Pressure gauge A is located inside Tank B and reads 1.4 bar. Both tanks contain air. The manometer connected to Tank B contains mercury (= 13.59 g/cm3). The manometer reading is h = 20 cm, atmospheric pressure is

101 kPa and g = 9.81 m/s2. Determine the absolute pressures inside Tank A and Tank B in kPa.

The key equation that relates the specific enthalpy of the system to the specific enthalpy of the saturated liquid and of the saturated vapor is:

The first step here is to use the given T to obtain data from the Saturation Temperature table.This will allow us to compare the given value of H to the values of Hsat liq and Hsat vap in order to determine the phase or phases

Finally, it makes you think about the relationship between the data tables and the physical system (phases) that they represent.

Since we are given the quality, x = 0.7, we know that vapor and liquid are both present in the system at equilibrium.

Because both vapor and liquid are present at equailibrium, the temperature must be equal to the saturation temperature at P = 200 kPa. We can find this temperature in the Saturation Pressure Table of the steam tables.

Because both saturated liquid and saturated vapor are present in the system at equilibrium, we must use the quality to evaluate the overall average specific enthalpy, as follows.

Here things get a bit difficult because the first pressure table in the Subcooled Liquid tables is associated with 5 MPa. Our given P of 500 kPa is less than this value, so it seems we do not have 2 values to interpolate between to determine H.

This is not true. It just means that we must interpolate between the saturated liquid state at T = 80oC and the subcooled liquid

state at 80oC and 5 MPa. Here is the relevant data from the Steam Tables, arranged in a convenient way.

The first step here is to use the given P to obtain data from the Saturation Pressure table.This will allow us to compare the given value of H to the values of Hsat liq and Hsat vap in order to determine the phase or phases

the system contains a superheated vapor, quality is undefined and we must use the Superheated Vapor Table to determine T.

We are fortunate that one of the Superheated Steam tables is associated with a P of 800 kPa.

Because the quality is zero, we immediately know the system contains a saturated liquid.This tells us that T = Tsat , H = Hsat liq and Psat = P = 950 kPa (given).So, we can look up 950 kPa in the Saturation Pressure table.

Here we are given both the T and P. Let's use the given P, and the Saturation Pressure table, to determine the Tsat associated

Since T = 10oF is less than Tsat, we can conclude that the sytem contains a subcooled or compressed liquid. The quality is undefined

Our given P of 70 psia is less than this value, so it seems we do not have 2 values to interpolate between to determine H.

This is not true. It just means that we must interpolate between the saturated liquid state at T = 10oF and the subcooled liquid state

at 10oF and 100 psia. Here is the relevant data from the R-134a Tables, arranged in a convenient way.

Be very careful with ft and in units when using Eqn 3 ! P2 41.18 psia

We know the mass, so if we can determine the specific volume, we can determine the total volume using:

ChemE 260 - Thermodynamics

A spring-loaded piston-and-cylinder device is initially filled with 0.2 lbm of a vapor-liquid mixture of R-134a at -30oF and a quality of 80%. The

spring constant in the spring force relation F = k x is 37 lbf/in, and the piston diameter is 12 in. The R-134a undergoes a process that increases

its volume by 40%. Calculate the final temperature and enthalpy of the R-134a.

The key to this problem is that the mass of R-134a inside the cylinder remains constant.The initial state of the R-134a is fixed because we know both T1 and x1. This will allow us to determine the specific volume and

then the total volume in the initial state.We can then determine the total volume and specific volume in the final state.Once we know the total volume in the final state, we can use the spring constant to determine P2.

Finally, knowing P2 and V2, we will be able to determine all the other intensive properties for state 2, including T2 and H2 that we

need to answer the question.

- Both the initial and final states are equilibrium states.

Lets begin by determining the total volume of the R-134a in the initial state.

Here is the relevant data from the Saturation Temperature table for R-134a. Temp.

(oF)

Pressure(psia)

V (ft3/lbm)

Now, we need to determine P2. We can accomplish this using the linear spring equations given in the problem statement.

As the R-134a expands, the pressure increases because the spring exerts additional force opposed to the expansion. The key to the relationship between the force exerted by the spring and the pressure inside the cylinder is the cross-sectional area of the piston, Across.

We don't how much force the spring exerts on the piston in the initial state, but that is not a problem. What we need to know is how much additional force the spring exerts on the pistons as the R-134a expands.

Notes:

The correct answers for this problem using T1 = 30oF are: T2 79.08oF

H2 117.72 Btu/lbm

As you can see, the errors due to interpolation are significant, but not disasterous.If we had used T1 = -30oF, the errors would have been disasterous !

Here is the relevant data from the Saturation Temperature table for R-134a.

Pressure(psia)

Temp.

(oF)

V (ft3/lbm)

Now, we know the values of two intensive variable for the final state: V2 and P2, so we can determine the values T2 and H2 by

interpolation on the R-134a tables.

The reason I changed T1 from -30oF to +30oF was to reduce the error that is an unavoidable problem in all interpolations, but

especially in double interpolations.

Since V2 is greater than Vsat vap even at the lower P of 10 psia, we can conclude that the R-134a is a superheated vapor in the

final state. So, we need to look at the Superheated table for R-134a.

Because there is no table for 11.29 psia in the Superheated R-134a table and our value of V2, 4.965 ft3/lbm, does not appear in

both the 10 psia and 15 psia tables, double interpolation is required to solve this problem.

Pressure (psia)

This double interpolation is a little different because V2 is known and T2 is unknown. I chose to interpolate on pressure first and then to interpolate on volume. I don't think you can do this problem in using a different interpolation order.

Pressure (psia)

I chose to interpolate on pressure first and then to interpolate on temperature. If you do the interpolations in the opposite order, you will get a slightly different answer. Either method is satisfactory.

The total mass is the sum of the masses of the sat'd liquid and sat'd vapor : m 7.393 kg

Because the process is isobaric, state 2 is a saturated vapor at 300 kPa and we can lookup all of its properties in the saturation pressure table.

In the initial state, liquid and vapor exist in equilibrium at 600 kPa. Therefore the initial temperature must be equal to the saturation temperature at 600 kPa. We can look this value up in the saturated steam pressure table.

We know the volume of the saturated liquid and the volume of the saturated vapor in the cylinder, so we can determine the mass of each from the specific volume using :


A piston-and-cylinder device contains 0.005 m3 of liquid water and 0.9 m3 of water vapor in equilibrium at 600 kPa. Heat is added to the water at

constant pressure until the temperature reaches 200oC.

Show the process on a completely labeled PV Diagram. Be sure to include the two-phase envelope.

The keys to this problem are that the process is isobaric and that the cylinder is a closed system. The mass in the system is the same in the initial and final states.

We can determine the mass of water in the system in the initial state using the given T, P and V.

We can look up the specific volumes of the saturated liquid and saturated vapor in the saturated steam pressure table and then use Eqns 1 & 2 to determine the mass o f each phase in the initial state.

Find : a.) P2 - P1 ??? kPa b.) m2-3 ??? gVamb ??? L

Assumptions : - The air in the tire is an ideal gas throughout both processes: heating and pressure relief.

Solution :Part a.)

Eqn 1 Eqn 2

No air leaves the tire during the heating process, so : n1 = n2 = 3.126 moles

Eqn 3 P2 336.0 kPa

The rise in pressure for the heating process is: P2 - P1 26.0 kPa

Part b.)

Eqn 4 m1 90.67 g

n3 2.885 moles

Next, we apply Eqn 4 to determine the mass of air in the tire in state 3. m3 83.65 g

Eqn 5 m2-3 7.01 g

Now, we can solve Eqn 1 for V to determine the volume that the air removed from the tire would occupy at 100 kPa and 25oC.

Eqn 6 Vamb 6.00 L

Now, we know n2, V, T2, so we can apply the Ideal Gas EOS to state 2 (at the end of the heating process) to determine P2.


The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25oC, the pressure gauge

reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m3 , determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature rises to 50oC. Also determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature (in kg and in L at Patm and

25oC). Assume atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Assume that the air in the tire behaves as an ideal gas, but then check the validity of this assumption

The keys to this problem are that the air is to be treated as an ideal gas and that the volume of the air in the tire remains constant throughout both processes: heating and pressure relief.

The first thing we need to do is determine the number of moles of air initially inside the tire. We can use the Ideal Gas EOS directly because we were given the values of P1, V and T1 in the problem statement. Be sure to use the absolute pressure !

Lets start by determining the mass of air initially inside the tire. We know the number of moles and the MW of air, so this should not be too difficult.

Next, lets determine how many moles of air must be in the tire at 50oC when the pressure is 210 kPa (gauge). This is the final state, state 3. We can do this by applying Eqn 2 to state 3.

Now, we can determine the mass of air that must be bled off from the tire and the volume this air would occupy at ambient T and P.

Problem : WB-4 - Relative Humidity and Fogged Glasses - 5 pts 6-Apr-11

Read :

Given : Tin 20 oCTout 10 oChr 55%

Find : Can the humidity gauge be correct if the glasses do not fog ?

Assumptions : 1- The humid air behaves as an ideal gas.

2- The glasses are at a temperature of 10oC when they enter the house.

Solution :

Relative humidity is defined by : Eqn 1

Eqn 2 P*w = Psat(20oC) 2.3392 kPa

Pw 1.2866 kPa

Eqn 3

Now, let's consider what happens when the humid indoor air is cooled down to its dew point.

Eqn 4

P*w (Tdew) 1.2866 kPa

Tdew 10.61 oC


On entering a dwelling maintained at 20oC from the outdoors where the temperature is 10oC, a person's eye-glasses are observed not to become fogged. A humidity gauge indicates the relative humidity in the dwelling is 55%. Can this reading be correct? Provide supporting calculations.

The key to this problem is to assume that the glasses are at 10oC when they come in from the outdoors and to recognize that if

the dew point of the indoor air is GREATER THAN 10oC, then when the humid air hits the cold glasses, water will condense onto the glasses and they will "fog". Since the glasses did not actually fog, we know that the dew point temperature of the

humid air in the house is LESS THAN 10oC. So, we can calculate Tdew of indoor air at hr = 55% and compare to 10oC to see

if the 55% relative humidity is possibly correct in light of the fact that the glasses did not fog.

The water in the humid air in the house will condense on the glasses if 10oC is less than or equal to the dew point temperature of the air in the house.

So, we can determine whether the humidity gauge is correct by comparing the dew point of the humid air in the house to 10oC.

If Tdew > 10oC, then the glasses SHOULD have fogged and we can conclude that the humidity gauge is not correct. If Tdew <

10oC then we cannot determine whether the humidity gauge is correct

We know the relative humidity of the indoor air and we can look up the vapor pressure of water at the indoor T of 20oC, so we can solve Eqn 1 for the partial pressure of water in the indoor air and evaluate it.

The key to solving this problem is that the mole fraction of water in the humid indoor air remains constant as it approaches the surface of the cold glasses. The total pressure in the room also remains constant. So, if the indoor air is an ideal gas, then the partial pressure of water in the indoor air also remains constant because :

Temp.

(oC)Pressure

(kPa)

At the dew point temperature, the relative humidity is 100%.

Since the partial pressure of water in the humid indoor air is constant, we can use Eqn 4 to evaluate the vapor pressure of water at the dew point temperature.

Now, we can go back to the saturation temperature tables and interpolate to detemine the T at which the vapor pressure is 1.2866 kPa. This T is the dew point !

Answers :

Since the molar volume of both the indoor and outdoor air exceed 20 L/mole, it is accurate to 2 significant figures to treat the air as an ideal gas.

Since Tout < Tdew, the glasses SHOULD have fogged when they came into the house if the humidity were really 55%.

However, since the glasses did not fog, we can conclude that the actual relative humidity was less than 55% and the humidity gauge is not correct.

We cannot consider humid air to be a diatomic gas, so the criterion for ideal gas behavior is :

We need to verify the validity of the Ideal Gas EOS by determining the molar volume of the humid air in both the indoor and outdoor states.
