Week 1 Assignment Questions

1. What are the three types of systems? Give example for each.
2. Define quasi-static process.
3. Derive an expression for the work done in a non flow reversible
adiabatic process.
4. A quantity of gas occupying 0.14 m3 at a pressure of 1400 kPa and
temperature of 3000 C is expanded adiabatically to 280 kPa. If for this
gas Cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK , Cv = 0.74 kJ/kgK, determine mass of the gas,
temperature after expansion, work done during expansion, change in
internal energy and change in enthalpy.
5. A mass of gas is compressed in a quasi-static process from 80 kPa,
0.2 m3 to 4 bar, 0.03 m3. Assuming that the pressure and volume are
related by pvn = C, find the work done by the gas system.
6. A mass of 5 kg of air is compressed in a quasi-static process from
1 MPa to 5 MPa for which PV = C. The initial density of air is
1.15 kg/m3. Find the work done and heat transfer for the process.
7. A gas is contained in a piston cylinder arrangement. Initial volume of the
gas is 0.5 m3. It is compressed from 1 bar to 10 bar such that the
temperature remains constant. Find the final volume and work done?
