Thermodynamics 1 – Quiz #4 (Ideal Gas Processes)

1) [20 pts] - During an isentropic process of 180 lb/min of air, the internal energy
increases by 108.8 kJ. If the initial temperature of air is 40 oF, what will be the
final temperature in oC of air at the end of the process?

2) [20 pts] – The work required to compress air reversibly according to pV 1.20=C is
67,790 kJ if there is no flow. Calculate the amount of heat transferred in BTU.

3) [20 pts] – A certain gas with a pressure of 101.3 kPaa initially occupies 10 ft 3. If
it is compressed adiabatically to a pressure of 66.21 psia and final volume of 0.085
cubic meters, determine the value of the gas’ isentropic constant.

4) [20 pts] – A closed vessel contains air at a pressure of 160 kPag and temperature of
30oC. The air is heated at constant volume to 60 oC with the atmospheric pressure of
759 mmHg. What is the final gauge pressure in psi?

5) [20 pts] – The enthalpy of air is increased by 139.586 kJ/kg in a compressor which
is a steady flow device. The rate of air flow is 16.42 kg/min and the input power is
48.2 kW. Determine the amount of heat in the compressor.

6) [20 pts] – An air bubble rises from the bottom of a well where the temperature is
25oC, to the surface where the temperature is 27oC. Find the percent increase in the
volume of the bubble if the depth of the well is 5 m. Take atmospheric pressure to
be 101,528 Pa.
