CHEMICAL ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS II FALL 2011

ASSIGNMENT 2 DUE FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2011

Review questions: 1. Starting from the definitions of enthalpy, Helmholtz energy and Gibbs energy show how you would obtain the respective fundamental property relation (e.g. show how to go from to ). 2. A well insulated tank (V=24 L) is divided into 2 equal parts by a small partition. One side has an ideal gas at 2 MPa and 500 K, the other side is a vacuum. The partition breaks (without adding energy). Find the final Tf and the total change in Entropy.

3. You have a refrigerator in a well insulated closed room. You accidentally leave the door open overnight. What happens to the temperature of the room (decreases, stays the same, increases)? Explain. 4. Koretsky 5.28 New material questions: 5. Koretsky 6.2 6. Koretsky 6.9
