Answer the following questions from Chapter 03

• Please state given, to find and assumptions for numerical problems (this is just good
practice)
• Please draw schematics wherever applicable.

Chapter 3 Problems: 23, 26, 28, 33

For all problems, sketch the locations of the system on a T-v chart sketch.

Chapter 3 Problems: 43, 46, 59, 72, 75, 82

For all problems except 82 sketch the system and given properties at the beginning and the end
states. For Problems 43, 46, and 59, also sketch the T-v diagram.
Problem 43 hint: With the piston resting on stops, what property is constant between states 2 and
3?
Problem 46 hint: the lid is not sealed and will begin to vent when the pressure inside the pan times
the area of the lid equals the total down force on the lid, keeping the pressure inside the cooking
pan constant.
