6.A fluid is confined in a cylinder by a spring loaded, frictionless piston so that the pressure in the
fluid is a linear function of the volume (p=a+bV).The internal energy of the fluid is given by the
following equation: U=34+3.15pV where U is in kJ, p in kPa, and V in cubic metre. If the fluid
changes from an initial state of 170kPa,0.03m3 to a final state of 400kPa,0.06m3.with no work
other than done on the piston, find the direction and magnitude of the work and heat transfer(8).

7.a .A stationary mass of gas is compressed without friction from an initial state of 0.3m 3 and
0.105MPa to a final state of 0.15m3 and 0.105MPa,the pressure remaining constant during the
process. There is a transfer of 37.6kJ of heat from the gas during the process. How much does the
internal energy of the gas change?(8 Marks)
7.b.Define Enthalpy? Convert the following readings of pressure to kPa, assuming that the
barometer reads 760mm of Hg (i) 40 cmHg vacuum (ii) 90 cmHg gauge (iii) 1.20m of H 20
gauge(8).
8.a.A turbine is supplied with steam at a gauge pressure of 1.4MPa. After expansion in the turbine
the steam flows into a condenser which is maintained at a vacuum of 710mmHg. The barometric
pressure is 772mmHg. Express the inlet and exhaust steam pressure in pascals(absolute). Take the
density of mercury as 13.6 *103kg/m3.(8 Marks)
