Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Given information.

A liter of air at atmospheric pressure is compressed adiabatically to a pressure of 7 atm.

Air is mostly diatomic.

02

Part a. Step 2. Explanation.

Expression for the adiabatic process is

PV=constant

Here Pis the pressure of air, Vis the volume of the air, and is the adiabatic constant.

In the initial and final case equation (1) can be written as

PiVi=PfVf

Equation (2) can be simplified as

Vf=PfVfPf

Multiply 1on both sides of equation (3)

Vf=PiPf1Vi

Vf=17571Vf=0.249鈥塋=2.4910-4鈥尘3Vf=2.4910-4鈥尘3

Hence, the required final volume is 2.4910-4鈥尘3.

03

Part b. Step 1. Given information.

1 liter of air is compressed adiabatically to a pressure of 7 atm. The initial volume of air is1103鈥尘3 and the final volume is 2.49104鈥尘3.

04

Part b. Step 2. Explanation.

Expression for work done on the system is

W=vivfPdV 鈥︹ (1)

Here Pis the pressure, Vi鈥塧苍诲鈥Vfare initial volume, and final volume.

Expression for the adiabatic process is

role="math" localid="1651473925139" PV=const 鈥︹ (2)

Here Pis the pressure of air,V is the volume of the air, and is the adiabatic constant.

Equation (2) can be written as

TV1=const

Tf=11032.4910425300

P=cV 鈥︹ (3)

Substitute cVfor Pin equation (1)

W=c11032.49104VdV 鈥︹ (4)

Solving equation (4) forW

W=cV+1+111032.49104 鈥︹ (5)

Substitute 75for in equation (5)

W=29.48.c 鈥︹ (6)

At V=1鈥塴颈迟别谤=1103鈥尘3and role="math" localid="1651475635356" 101325鈥塒补for Pin equation (2)

PV=c1.013105110375=cc=6.393鈥塒补.

Substitute for in equation (6)

W=29.486.393W=188.44鈥塉

Hence, work done on the air is W=188.44鈥塉.

05

Part c. Step 1. Given information.

The initial temperature is Ti=300鈥块.

The initial volume isVi=1103鈥尘3 and the final volume is Vf=2.49104鈥尘3.

06

Part c. Step 2. Explanation.

Expression for adiabatic compression is

VTf2=const 鈥︹ (1)

Here, Vis the volume of the air, T is temperature andf is the degree of freedom.

Equation (1) can be written for the initial and final cases as

ViTif2=VfTff2Tff2=ViVf2fTi

鈥︹ (3)

Substitute 5 for f, 1103m3for Vi, 2.49104鈥尘3for Vfon equation (3)

Tf=11032.4910425300Tf=523.17鈥块

Hence, the final temperature after compression is Tf=523.17鈥块.

Two identical bubbles of gas form at the bottom of a lake, then rise to the surface. Because the pressure is much lower at the surface than at the bottom, both bubbles expand as they rise. However, bubble A rises very quickly, so that no heat is exchanged between it and the water. Meanwhile, bubble B rises slowly (impeded by a tangle of seaweed), so that it always remains in thermal equilibrium with the water (which has the same temperature everywhere). Which of the two bubbles is larger by the time they reach the surface? Explain your reasoning fully.

If you poke a hole in a container full of gas, the gas will start leaking out. In this problem, you will make a rough estimate of the rate at which gas escapes through a hole. (This process is called effusion, at least when the hole is sufficiently small.)

  1. Consider a small portion (area = A) of the inside wall of a container full of gas. Show that the number of molecules colliding with this surface in a time interval tis role="math" localid="1651729685802" PAt/(2mvx), where width="12" height="19" role="math">Pis the pressure, is the average molecular mass, and vxis the average xvelocity of those molecules that collide with the wall.
  2. It's not easy to calculate vx, but a good enough approximation is (vx2)1/2, where the bar now represents an average overall molecule in the gas. Show that (vx2)1/2=kT/m.
  3. If we now take away this small part of the wall of the container, the molecules that would have collided with it will instead escape through the hole. Assuming that nothing enters through the hole, show that the number Nof molecules inside the container as a function of time is governed by the differential equation
    dNdt=A2VkTmN
    Solve this equation (assuming constant temperature) to obtain a formula of the form N(t)=N(0)et/r, where ris the 鈥渃haracteristic time鈥 for N(and P) to drop by a factor of e.
  4. Calculate the characteristic time for gas to escape from a 1-liter container punctured by a 1-mm2? hole.
  5. Your bicycle tire has a slow leak so that it goes flat within about an hour after being inflated. Roughly how big is the hole? (Use any reasonable estimate for the volume of the tire.)
  6. In Jules Verne鈥檚 Around the Moon, the space travelers dispose of a dog's corpse by quickly opening a window, tossing it out, and closing the window. Do you think they can do this quickly enough to prevent a significant amount of air from escaping? Justify your answer with some rough estimates and calculations.

An ideal diatomic gas, in a cylinder with a movable piston, undergoes the rectangular cyclic process shown in the given figure.

Assume that the temperature is always such that rotational degrees of freedom are active, but vibrational modes are "frozen out." Also assume that the only type of work done on the gas is quasistatic compression-expansion work.

(a) For each of the four steps A through D, compute the work done on the gas, the heat added to the gas, and the change in the energy content of the gas. Express all answers in terms of P1,P2,V1,andV2. (Hint: Compute Ubefore Q, using the ideal gas law and the equipartition theorem.)

(b) Describe in words what is physically being done during each of the four steps; for example, during step A, heat is added to the gas (from an external flame or something) while the piston is held fixed.

(c) Compute the net work done on the gas, the net heat added to the gas, and the net change in the energy of the gas during the entire cycle. Are the results as you expected? Explain briefly.

In a Diesel engine, atmospheric air is quickly compressed to about 1/20 of its original volume. Estimate the temperature of the air after compression, and explain why a Diesel engine does not require spark plugs.

When spring finally arrives in the mountains, the snow pack may be two meters deep, composed 50%of ice and 50%of air. Direct sunlight provides about 1000watts/m2to earth's surface, but the snow might reflect 90%of this energy. Estimate how many weeks the snow pack should last, if direct solar radiation is the only source of energy.
