Instruction: Analyze and solve the following problems. Answer/s must be supported by a clear and
complete solution. Box your final answer/s.

1. While the pressure remains constant at 689.5 kPa the volume of a system of air changes from 0.567 m³
to 0.283 m³ . What are (a) ∆U, (b) ∆H, (c) Q, (d) ∆S? (e) If the process is nonflow and internally
reversible, what is the work?
2. Oxygen at the rate of 3 lb/min undergoes a reversible adiabatic process during which its entropy
changes -0.35 Btu/lb-°R; V1= 17.75ft3 and t1=400° F. For both nonflow and steady flow(∆PE=0,
∆KE=0) process, compute (a) ∆U and ∆H (b) W (c) Q.

3. A piston-cylinder device, with a set of stops on the top initially contains 3 kg of air and 27° C. Heat is
now transferred through the air, and the piston rises until it hits the stops, at which the volume is twice
the initial volume. More heat was added until the pressure inside the cylinder also doubles. Determine
the work done and the amount of heat transfer for this process.
4. Four pounds of air gain 0.491 Btu/0 R of entropy during a nonflow isothermal process. If P 1= 120 psia
and V2= 42.5 ft³ , find (a) V1 and T1, (b) W, (c) Q, and (d) ∆U.

5. If 10 kg/min of air are compressed isothermally from P1= 96 kPa and V1=7.65m³ /min to P2=
620 kPa, find the work, the change of entropy and the heat for (a) nonflow process and (b) a
steady flow process with υ 1= 15 m/s and υ 2= 60 m/s.
