Final Assignment Thermo Question

This document outlines a final assessment for a Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics course. It consists of two parts - a report and problem solving questions. The report requires students to answer questions about the benefits of studying thermodynamics, applying concepts to practical examples, and explaining pure substance properties using equations and diagrams. The problem solving questions cover a range of thermodynamics topics, including ideal gas behavior, gas cycles, property calculations using equations of state, and applying the second law of thermodynamics. The assessment is designed to test students' understanding of key thermodynamics concepts through open book problem solving.

Chemical Engineering Department
[ 1 ] ATTEMPT
Stage: 2nd
Course Name: Thermodynamics
Duration: (42 hrs)
Date and Time: 12:00 am, 1 / 07 /2020, till 6:00 am 3/07/2020

First Part: Report [30 Marks]


Write a report 1-5 pages by answering all the following questions.
1. Why we are study these chapters and what are we get as benefit ?
2. As chemical engineering talk about your practical live and these subjects.
3. Explain with equations and drawing if found the pure substance properties (PT & PV diagrams).
4. Define the equation of state, give an example in where we can use it, why we need to use it, finally
derive the general form of equation of state (liquid, vapor)?

Second Part: Problem Solving and Open Book (each question 6 Marks Except Q4 from 9)
Q1: The variation of fluid pressure with height is described by the differential equation:

Here, p is specific density and g is the local acceleration of gravity. For an ideal gas,

p = M P/RT, where M is molar mass and R is the universal gas constant. Modeling the atmosphere as an
isothermal column of ideal gas at 283.15 K (lO°C), estimate the ambient pressure in Denver, where z =
l(mi1e) relative to sea level. For air, take M = 29 g molP1; values of R are given in App. A.

Q2: Carbon dioxide gas enters a water-cooled compressor at the initial conditions P1 =15 (psia) and T1 =
50 (°F) and is discharged at the final conditions P2 =520 (psia) and T2 = 200 (°F). The entering CO2 flows
through a 4 in-diameter pipe with a velocity of 20(ft)(s)-1, and is discharged through a 1 in-diameter pipe.
The shaft work supplied to the compressor is 5360 (Btu)(mole)-1'. What is the heat-transfer rate from the
compressor in kW?

H1 = 307 (Btu)(mole)-1 Vl = 0.5774 m3 kg-1

H2 = 330 ( Btu)(mole)-1 V2 = 0.0175 m3 kg-1.

Q3: An ideal gas initially at 600 K and 10 bar undergoes a four-step mechanically reversible cycle in a
closed system. In step 12, pressure decreases isothermally to 3 bar; in step 23, pressure decreases at constant
volume to 2 bar; in step 34, volume decreases at constant pressure; and in step 41, the gas returns
adiabatically to its initial state.

Q5: An inventor has devised a complicated nonflow process in which 1 mol of air is the working fluid.
The net effects of the process are claimed to be:

• A change in state of the air from 523.15 K (250°C) and 3 bar to 353.15 K (80°C) and 1 bar.
• The production of 1800 J of work.
• The transfer of an undisclosed amount of heat to a heat reservoir at 303.15 K (30°C).
Determine whether the claimed performance of the process is consistent with the second law.
Assume that air is an ideal gas for which Cp = (7/2)R.

∆H, and ∆S given that 𝛽= 250 x 10-6 K-1 and K =45 x 10-6 bar-1
