Chapter V - IDEAL AND ACTUAL GASES

Problem 5.13

For a certain ideal gas, R = 0.270 kJ/kg-K and k = 1.25. Determine (a) cP; (b) c11 ;
(c) M.

Given: Gas constant and specific heat ratio.

Find: Specific heats and molecular mass.

Sketch and Given Data:

R•0.17 kJAc,•k
k= 1.ir

Assumptions: 1) Gas is in equilibrium.

Analysis: Using equations 5.22 and 5.19.

C
cP - c;, = R = 0.270 kJ/kg-K ..!
CV
= k = 1.25

Cp = 1.25 Cy

(b) 1.25 c;. - c;. = 0.270 kJ/kg-K

c;, = 1.08 kJ/kg-K

(a) cP = 1.25 Cy = 1.35 kJ/kg-K

(c) M = R = 8.3143 kJ/kgmol-K = 30_79 kg/kgmol

R 0.270kJ/kg-K
