1. Air at 1 bar and 250C is compressed to 5 bar and 25 0C by two different mechanically
reversible processes: (CO1)
a) Cooling at constant pressure followed by heating at constant volume
b) Heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure
Calculate the heat work requirements and ∆U and ∆H of the air for each path. The heat capacities
CV = 20.78 and CP = 29.10 J/mol K are assumed independent of temperature. Also assume for air
that PV/T is a constant, regardless of the changes it undergoes. At 250C and 1 bar the molar
volume of the air is 0.02479 m3/mol.
2. a) Describe the PV and PT diagrams for pure substance (CO1)

b) Five kgs of liquid carbon tetrachloride undergo a mechanically reversible, isobaric

change of state at 1 bar during which the temperature changes from 0 0C to 200C.
Determine ∆V, W, Q, ∆H and ∆U. the properties for liquid CCl 4 at 1 bar and 00C may be
assumed independent of temperature: β = 1.2 x 10-3 K-1, CP = 0.84 kJ/kg K and ρ = 1.590
kg/m3.

3. a) Derive the relations for Second, Third and Fourth Virial Coefficients. (CO1)

b) Calculate Z and V for ethylene at 250C and 12 bar by the truncated virial equation with the
following experimental values of virial coefficients B= -140 cm3 mol-1 and C = 7200 cm6
mol-2
Data: Pc = 50.4 bar, Tc = 282.3 K, ω = 0.087

4. A rigid vessel of 0.06 m3 volume contains as ideal gas, CV = (5/2)R, at 500 K and 1 bar,
a) If heat in the amount of 15000 J is transferred to the gas, determine the entropy change
b) If the vessel is fitted with a stirrer that is rotated by a shaft so that work in the amount of
15000 J is done on the gas. What is the entropy change of the gas if the process is
adiabatic? What is ∆Stotal? What is the irreversible feature of the process? (CO2)
