Topic: Example of the processes of ideal gas.

 Ex. 0.3m3 of air at 2070 kPa and 207oC is cooled to 60oC
at constant volume. What are the (a) final pressure, (b) the
work, (c) change in internal energy, (d) change in enthalpy,
(e) change in entropy

 Ex. A perfect gas has a value of R = 319 J / kg-K and k =
1.26. If 120 kJ of heat are added to 3 kg of this gas at
constant pressure process when t1 = 32oC. Find (a) T2, (b)
change in internal energy, (c) work nonflow, (d) change in
entropy.

Example in
Isobaric
Process
 During a reversible process there are abstracted of
317 kJ of heat from 1.34 kg of a certain ideal gas
while the temperature constant at 27oC. For Cp =
2.232 kJ/kg-K, Cv = 1.713 kJ / kg - K and p1 = 586
kPa. Find (a) p2 (b) V1 & V2, (c) change in entropy.

Example in
Isothermal
Process
 An ideal gas having a mass of 2 kg at 465 K & 415
kPa expands in a reversible adiabatic process to 133
kPa. The ideal gas constant is 0.242 kJ / kg - K and k
= 1.40. Determine: (a) the final temperature, (b) the
change in internal energy, (c) the work nonflow.

 Helium expands polytropically through a turbine
according to the process pV1.5=C. The inlet temperature is
1000 K and the inlet pressure is 1000 kPa, and the exit
pressure is 150 kPa. The turbine produces 100 MW.
Determine the exit temperature, the mass flow rate, and
the heat transferred.
