temperature of the steam, the internal energy and enthalpy changes of the steam for this
process.

#Problem 2 3.4
In Joule’s experiments, the slow lowering of a weight turned a stirrer in an insulated container of
water. As a result of viscosity, the kinetic energy transferred from the stirrer to the water
eventually dissipated. In this process the potential energy of the water was first converted to
kinetic energy of the stirrer and the water, and then as a result of viscous forces, the kinetic
energy of the water was converted to thermal energy apparent as a rise in temperature.
Assuming no friction in the pulleys and no heat losses, how large a temperature rise would be
found in 1 kg of water as a result of a 1-kg weight being lowered 1 m?

Steam at 500 bar and 600 C is to undergo a Joule-Thompson expansion to atmospheric pressure.
What will be the temperature of the steam after the expansion? What would be the downstream
temperature if the steam were replaced by an ideal gas?
With known values of P2, 𝐻2 we could obtain T2 = 385oC from the steam table
If the steam were replaced by an ideal gas, since enthalpy of ideal gas is a function of temperature
only, we easily obtain T2 = T1 = 600oC

#Problem 5 3.7
Consider the following statement: “The adiabatic work necessary to cause a given change of state
in a closed system is independent of the path by which that change occurs.
a) Consider a process that changes system from state 1 to state 2 (state 1 and state 2 are fixed)
Energy balance equation for closed system

In illustration 3.4-6, we found that (Q + W) is the same for all path. This statement must also be
hold in any adiabatic path. However, in adiabatic path, Q + W = W, thus W is the same for all
adiabatic path. Because of this, this conclusion is not in contradict with illustration 3.4-16
b) Consider a system receives work Wa to change from state 1 to state 2 in an adiabatic path. Then
it releases work Wb to get back to state 1 in another adiabatic path
For these two different paths, energy balance equations for closed system, no heat exchange, with
neglect of kinetic and potential energy change give us (assume that U2 > U1)
U2 – U1 = Wa (Wa > 0)
U1 – U2 = Wb (Wb < 0)
Wa + Wb = 0 or |𝑊𝑏 | = |𝑊𝑎 |
If |𝑊𝑏 | > |𝑊𝑎 | then Wa + Wb < 0: we have generated more energy than we put in.
If |𝑊𝑏 | < |𝑊𝑎 | then Wa + Wb > 0: we just add energy to the system that goes nowhere.
In the first case, if we add the work Wa to the system to change from state 1 to state 2, and then
get back to state 1 on the path generating work Wb, then we would obtain a machine that generates
energy.

#Problem 8 3.15
An isolated chamber with rigid walls is divided into two equal compartments, one containing gas
and the other evacuated. The partition between the compartments ruptures. After the passage
of a sufficiently long period of time, the temperature and pressure are found to be uniform
throughout the chamber.
a) If the filled compartment initially contains an ideal gas of constant heat capacity at 1MPa and
500 K. what are the final temperature and pressure in the chamber?
Choose a system to be contents of both two compartments, named a and b.
Mass balance equation for this system is
M2 – M1 = 0 M1 = M2 N1 = N2
With
N1 = N1a + N1b = N1a N1a = N2
Energy balance equation is
U2 – U1 = 0 U2 = U1
With
U1 = U1a + U1b = U1a U1a = U2 T1a = T2 = 500K
Since ideal gas is only a function of temperature.
We have
P1aV1a = N1aRT1a
P2V2 = N2RT2
With
N1a = N2; T1a = T2; V2 = 2V1a
P2 = 0.5P1a = 0.5 MPa
b) If the filled compartment initially contains steam at 1 MPa and 500 K, what are the final
temperature and pressure in the compartment?
For steam, we still have the following results
N2 = N1a; M2 = M1a
U2 = U1a
V2 = 2V1a
Thus
̂2 = 𝑈

c) Repeat part (a) if the second compartment initially contains an ideal gas, but at half the pressure
and 100 K higher temperature.

Nitrogen can be liquefied using a Joule-Thomson expansion process. This is done by rapidly and
adiabatically expanding cold nitrogen gas from high pressure to a low pressure. If Nitrogen at 135
K and 20 MPa undergoes a Joule-Thomson expansion to 0.4 MPa:
a) Extimate the fraction of vapor and liquid present after the expansion and the temperature

A clever chemical engineer has devised the thermally operated elevator shown in the
accompanying diagram. The elevator compartment is made to rise by electrically heating the air
contained in the piston-and-cylinder drive mechanism, and the elevator is lowered by opening a
valve at the side of the cylinder, allowing the air in the cylinder to slowly escape. Once the
elevator compartment is back to the lower level, a small pump forces out the air remaining in the
cylinder and replaces it with air at 20 C and a pressure just sufficient to support the elevator
compartment. This cycle can then be repeated. There is no heat transfer between the piston,
cylinder, and the gas; the weight of the piston, elevator, and the elevator contents is 4000 kg;
the piston has a surface area of 2.5 m2; and the volume contained in the cylinder when the
elevator is at its lowest level is 25 m3. There is no friction between the piston and the cylinder,
and the air in the cylinder is assumed to be an ideal gas with Cp*=30 J/(mol K)
We can also use the ideal gas law to calculate the final temperature of the gas.

An air compressor is designed to compress atmospheric air (assumed to be at 100 kPa, 20oC) to a
pressure of 1 MPa. The heat transfer rate to the environment is anticipated to be about equal to

external pressure is slightly larger than and could be assumed to be equal to internal pressure. The
pressure-volume relationship is given by 𝑃𝑉 1.5 = 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡. What is the final temperature and
internal energy of the system? Calculate the work done during this process. How much heat was
exchanged?
B) Consider a different process by which the system get to the same final state in part (A). In this
case, a large block is placed on the piston, forcing it to compress. Calculate the work done during
this process. How much heat was exchanged?

You wish to measure the temperature of steam flowing in a pipe at pressure of 9MPa. To do this
task you connect a well-insulated tank of volume 0.4m3 to this pipe through a valve. This tank
initially is at vacuum. The valve is opened, and the tank fills with steam until the pressure is 9
MPa. At this point the pressure of the pipe and tank are equal, and no more steam flows through
the valve. The valve is then closed. The temperature right after the valve is closed is measured to
be 800oC. The process takes place adiabatically. Determine the temperature of the system flowing
in the pipe. You may assume the steam in the pipe stays at the same temperature and pressure
throughout this process.

Refrigerant 12 flows steadily through a 40 mm diameter horizontal pipe. At a point where the
velocity is 40m/s the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant are 40oC and 300kPa,
respectively. As a result of heat transfer from the surroundings, the temperature at a point
downstream reaches 50oC.
A) Assuming a negligible pressure drop, determine the heat transfer rate to the refrigerant 12.
Specific volumes of inlet and outlet streams are 0.06821m3/kg and 0.07077 m3/kg. Specific
enthalpy of inlet and outlet streams are 214.31 kJ/kg and 220.77 kJ/kg.
B) Do part (a) with consideration of 50kPa of pressure drop. Specific volume and specific enthalpy
of outlet stream now are 0.0856 m3/kg and 221.33 kJ/kg. Mass flow rate in pipe is constant.

#Problem 19
Air at 1 atm and 20oC occupies an initial volume of 1000 cm3 in a cylinder. The air is confined by
a piston, which has a constant restraining force so the gas pressure always remains constant. Heat
is added to the air until its temperature reaches 260oC. Calculate the heat added, the work the gas
does on the piston, and the change in internal energy of the gas. Air could be assumed to be ideal
gas with Cp* = 1.005 x 103 J/kgoC
#Problem 20
Water is to be heated from its pipeline temperature of 20oC to 90oC using superheated steam at
450oC and 2.5 MPa in a steady-state process to produce 10kg/s of heated water. In each of the
processes below, assume there is no heat loss.
A) The heating is to be done in a mixing tank by direct injection of the system, all of which
condenses. Determine the two inlet mass flows needed to meet the desired hot water flow rate.
B) Instead of direct mixing, a heat exchanger will be used in which the water to be heated will
flow inside copper tubes and the steam will partially condense on the outside of the tubes. In this
case heat will flow from the steam to the water, but the two streams are not mixed. Calculate
the steam flow rate if the steam leaves the heat exchanger at 50 percent quality at 100oC
B) Once again, the system is defined as both the water and the steam
