I will solve Question 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, and 1.3.4.

Question 1.3: An adiabatic gas process was used in supplying thermal heat energy to a cylinder containing 4.15kg argon gas with an initial temperature and volume of 44°C and 1.51m³ respectively to final temperature of 162°C. The specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume Cv and the characteristic gas constant R are 0.312kJ/kgK, 0.208 kJ/kgK respectively.

Given data:

  • Mass of argon gas, m=4.15 kgm = 4.15 \, \text{kg}
  • Initial temperature, T1=44∘C=44+273.15=317.15 KT_1 = 44^\circ\text{C} = 44 + 273.15 = 317.15 \, \text{K}
  • Initial volume, V1=1.51 m3V_1 = 1.51 \, \text{m}^3
  • Final temperature, T2=162∘C=162+273.15=435.15 KT_2 = 162^\circ\text{C} = 162 + 273.15 = 435.15 \, \text{K}
  • Specific heat capacity at constant volume, Cv=0.312 kJ/kgKC_v = 0.312 \, \text{kJ/kgK}
  • Characteristic gas constant, R=0.208 kJ/kgKR = 0.208 \, \text{kJ/kgK}

1.3.1. The value of index of compression for the adiabatic process.

  1. Calculate the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, CpC_p.

    The relationship between CpC_p, CvC_v, and RR is given by:

    Cp=Cv+RC_p = C_v + R

    Substitute the given values:

    Cp=0.312 kJ/kgK+0.208 kJ/kgKC_p = 0.312 \, \text{kJ/kgK} + 0.208 \, \text{kJ/kgK} Cp=0.520 kJ/kgKC_p = 0.520 \, \text{kJ/kgK}
  2. Calculate the adiabatic index, γ\gamma.

    The adiabatic index (or index of compression for an adiabatic process) is given by:

    γ=CpCv\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}

    Substitute the calculated CpC_p and given CvC_v:

    γ=0.520 kJ/kgK0.312 kJ/kgK\gamma = \frac{0.520 \, \text{kJ/kgK}}{0.312 \, \text{kJ/kgK}} γ=1.6666...\gamma = 1.6666...

    Rounding to three decimal places:

    γ≈1.667\gamma \approx 1.667

    The value of the index of compression for the adiabatic process is 1.667\boxed{\text{1.667}}.

    1.3.2. The all unknown pressures

  3. Calculate the initial pressure, P1P_1, using the ideal gas law.

    The ideal gas law is PV=mRTPV = mRT. For the initial state:

    P1V1=mRT1P_1 V_1 = m R T_1 P1=mRT1V1P_1 = \frac{m R T_1}{V_1}

    Substitute the given values:

    P1=4.15 kg×0.208 kJ/kgK×317.15 K1.51 m3P_1 = \frac{4.15 \, \text{kg} \times 0.208 \, \text{kJ/kgK} \times 317.15 \, \text{K}}{1.51 \, \text{m}^3} P1=4.15×0.208×317.151.51 kPaP_1 = \frac{4.15 \times 0.208 \times 317.15}{1.51} \, \text{kPa} P1=273.86961.51 kPaP_1 = \frac{273.8696}{1.51} \, \text{kPa} P1≈181.37 kPaP_1 \approx 181.37 \, \text{kPa}
  4. Calculate the final volume, V2V_2, using the adiabatic process relation T1V1γ−1=T2V2γ−1T_1 V_1^{\gamma-1} = T_2 V_2^{\gamma-1}.

    Rearrange the formula to solve for V2V_2:

    T1T2=(V2V1)γ−1\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right)^{\gamma-1} V2=V1(T1T2)1γ−1V_2 = V_1 \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^{\frac{1}{\gamma-1}}

    Substitute the values:

    V2=1.51 m3(317.15 K435.15 K)11.667−1V_2 = 1.51 \, \text{m}^3 \left(\frac{317.15 \, \text{K}}{435.15 \, \text{K}}\right)^{\frac{1}{1.667-1}} V2=1.51(317.15435.15)10.667V_2 = 1.51 \left(\frac{317.15}{435.15}\right)^{\frac{1}{0.667}} V2=1.51(0.7288)1.499V_2 = 1.51 \left(0.7288\right)^{1.499} V2=1.51×0.620V_2 = 1.51 \times 0.620 V2≈0.936 m3V_2 \approx 0.936 \, \text{m}^3
  5. Calculate the final pressure, P2P_2, using the ideal gas law for the final state.

    P2V2=mRT2P_2 V_2 = m R T_2 P2=mRT2V2P_2 = \frac{m R T_2}{V_2}

    Substitute the values:

    P2=4.15 kg×0.208 kJ/kgK×435.15 K0.936 m3P_2 = \frac{4.15 \, \text{kg} \times 0.208 \, \text{kJ/kgK} \times 435.15 \, \text{K}}{0.936 \, \text{m}^3} P2=4.15×0.208×435.150.936 kPaP_2 = \frac{4.15 \times 0.208 \times 435.15}{0.936} \, \text{kPa} P2=375.690.936 kPaP_2 = \frac{375.69}{0.936} \, \text{kPa} P2≈401.38 kPaP_2 \approx 401.38 \, \text{kPa}

    The unknown pressures are P1=181.37 kPaP_1 = \boxed{\text{181.37 kPa}} and P2=401.38 kPaP_2 = \boxed{\text{401.38 kPa}}.

    1.3.3. The change in internal energy of the gas during the process

  6. Calculate the change in internal energy, ΔU\Delta U.

    The change in internal energy for a gas is given by:

    ΔU=mCv(T2−T1)\Delta U = m C_v (T_2 - T_1)

    Substitute the given values:

    ΔU=4.15 kg×0.312 kJ/kgK×(435.15 K−317.15 K)\Delta U = 4.15 \, \text{kg} \times 0.312 \, \text{kJ/kgK} \times (435.15 \, \text{K} - 317.15 \, \text{K}) ΔU=4.15×0.312×118 kJ\Delta U = 4.15 \times 0.312 \times 118 \, \text{kJ} ΔU=152.5056 kJ\Delta U = 152.5056 \, \text{kJ}

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    ΔU≈152.51 kJ\Delta U \approx 152.51 \, \text{kJ}

    The change in internal energy of the gas is 152.51 kJ\boxed{\text{152.51 kJ}}.

    1.3.4. The work done during compression.

  7. Calculate the work done, WW, for an adiabatic process.

    For an adiabatic process, the work done is given by:

    W=P2V2−P1V11−γW = \frac{P_2 V_2 - P_1 V_1}{1 - \gamma}

    Substitute the calculated pressures and volumes, and the adiabatic index:

    W=(401.38 kPa×0.936 m3)−(181.37 kPa×1.51 m3)1−1.667W = \frac{(401.38 \, \text{kPa} \times 0.936 \, \text{m}^3) - (181.37 \, \text{kPa} \times 1.51 \, \text{m}^3)}{1 - 1.667} W=375.70−273.87−0.667 kJW = \frac{375.70 - 273.87}{-0.667} \, \text{kJ} W=101.83−0.667 kJW = \frac{101.83}{-0.667} \, \text{kJ} W≈−152.67 kJW \approx -152.67 \, \text{kJ}

    The negative sign indicates work is done on the gas (compression).
    The work done during compression is -152.67 kJ\boxed{\text{-152.67 kJ}}.
