Learning Activity #1

Copy and answer the following problems on a long bond paper. Use 3 decimal places for final
answers. List down the given, and required before showing the solution. Use black ink only.
1. Find the change in internal energy of 5 lbm of oxygen gas when the temperature changes
from 100 F to 120 F, Cv = 0.157 BTU/lbm-R
2. A closed vessel contains air at a pressure of 160 kPa gauge and temperature of 30 C. The
air is heated at constant volume to 60 C with the atmospheric pressure 759 mmHg.
What is the final gauge pressure?
3. Ammonia weighing 22 kg is confined inside a cylinder equipped with a piston and has an
initial pressure of 413 kPa at 38 C. If 2,900 kJ of heat is added to the ammonia until its
pressure and temperature are 413 kPa and 100 C respectively. What is the amount of
work done by the fluid in kJ.
4. There are 1.36 kg of gas for which R = 0.377 and k = 1.25 that undergo a non-flow
constant volume process from 551.6 kPa and 60 C to 1,655 kPa. During the process,
there are added 105.5 kJ of heat. Determine the change of entropy.
5. Work done by a substance in reversible non-flow manner in accordance with V = 100/P
ft3, where P is in psia. Evaluate the work done on or by the substance as the pressure
increases from 10 psia to 100 psia.
6. How much work is necessary to compress air in an insulated cylinder from 0.20 m 3 to
0.01 m3. Use t1 = 20 C and P1 = 100 kPa.
