1. Air at 1 bar and 250C is compressed to 5 bar and 250C by two different CO1
mechanically reversible processes:
a) Cooling at constant pressure followed by heating at constant volume
b) Heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure
Calculate the heat work requirements and ∆U and ∆H of the air for each path.
The heat capacities CV = 20.78 and CP = 29.10 J/mol K are assumed independent
of temperature. Also assume for air that PV/T is a constant, regardless of the
changes it undergoes. At 250C and 1 bar the molar volume of the air is 0.02479
m3/mol.
2. a) Describe the PV and PT diagrams for pure substance CO2
b) Five kgs of liquid carbon tetrachloride undergo a mechanically reversible,
isobaric change of state at 1 bar during which the temperature changes from 00C
to 200C. Determine ∆V, W, Q, ∆H and ∆U. the properties for liquid CCl4 at 1 bar
and 00C may be assumed independent of temperature: β = 1.2 x 10-3 K-1, CP = 0.84
kJ/kg K and ρ = 1.590 kg/m3.
3. a) Derive mass and energy balance equations for a control volume system CO1
b) Air at 1 bar and 250C enters a compressor at low velocity, discharges at 3 bar
and enters a nozzle in which it expands to a final velocity of 600 m/s at the initial
conditions of pressure and temperature. If the work of compression is 240 kJ per
kg of air, how much heat must be removed during compression?
4. a) Derive the Second, Third and Fourth Virial Coefficients. CO2
b) Calculate Z and V for ethylene at 250C and 12 bar by the truncated virial
equation with the following experimental values of virial coefficients B= -140 cm3
mol-1 and C = 7200 cm6 mol-2
Data: Pc = 50.4 bar, Tc = 282.3 K, ω = 0.087
5. Steam flows at steady state through a converging nozzle, 25 cm long and with an CO1
inlet diameter of 5 cm. At the nozzle entrance, the temperature and pressure are
3250C and 700 kPa, and the velocity is 30 m/s. At the nozzle exit, the steam
temperature and pressure are 2400C and 350 kPa. Property values are
H1 = 3112.5 kJ/kg V1 = 388.61 cm3/g
H2 = 2945.7 kJ/kg V2 = 667.75 cm3/g
What is the velocity of the steam at the nozzle exit, and what is the exit diameter?
6. a) Derive expressions for Vander wall’s constants a, b and Critical CO2
Compressibility factor Zc as functions of critical conditions
b) Describe the Pitzer generalized correlations for Compressibility factor and
Second Virial Coefficients
