b) A system and its surroundings form an isolated system. The entropy change of an isolated system is
the sum of the entropy changes of its components, and is never less than zero.
Question 2:
Two kilogram of Carbon dioxide, CO2, in a piston/cylinder at 100°C, 1400 kPa is expanded in a
reversible adiabatic process to 400 kPa. Calculate the work done by the system (CO2) during this
process. (15p.)
Solution 2:
State 1: From superheated vapor table (Table B.3.2), for P1 = 1400 kPa , T1 = 100 °C
A rigid container with volume 3m3 is divided into two equal sections by a partition. Both sides
contain air, one side is at 1 MPa, 300°C, and the other at 100 kPa, 200°C. The partition ruptures,
and the air comes to a uniform state at 100°C. Assume that the surrounding temperature is
25°C and air is an ideal gas with constant properties (Cp= 1.004 kJ/kgK, R= 0.287 kJ/kgK).
Solution 3:
An insulated container with a volume of 0.1 m3 is initially empty. Later, the container is filled
with Carbon dioxide, CO2 from a line flowing saturated liquid at -10°C. Assume that this process
is adiabatic.
c) Calculate the total entropy generation during the process. Is this process possible? (10p.)
Solution 4:
Air flows into an insulated nozzle at 1MPa, 1500 K with 10 m/s and mass flow rate of 3 kg/s. It
expands to 500 kPa and exit temperature is 1300 K. Assume that air is an ideal gas with
constant properties (Cp= 1.004 kJ/kgK, R= 0.287 kJ/kgK)
d) Calculate the per unit time of entropy generation in the actual nozzle. Is this process
possible? (5p.)
Solution 5 :
Assume that the same inlet and exit pressures in actual and ideal nozzles
Tes /Ti = (Pe /Pi)(k-1)/k ⇒ Tes = Ti *(Pe /Pi)(k-1)/k ⇒ Tes =1500*(500/1000) (1.4-1)/1.4
⇒ Tes =1230.5
Ves2 = Vi2 + 2*Cp*(Ti - Tes) ⇒ Ves2 = 100 + 2*1004*(1500 - 1230.5) ⇒ Ves = 735.7 m/s
