Problem No. 1:
During a reversible process, 1.5 kg/s of a certain gas rejects 350 kJ/s of heat at a constant
temperature of 27 deg C. Cp= 2.14 and Cv= 1.62 kJ/kgK. The initial pressure is 600 kPaa. Find
the final volume in cu.m/sec.

Problem No. 2:
1.5 kg of a gas expands within an elastic container from 100 kPaa and 150 liters to a final
pressure of 8 kPaa. If the process is defined by pV 1.25 = C and the internal energy decreases by
30 kJ/kg, calculate the heat transferred in kJ. Ans. – 21.2
