Imagine that your dog has eaten the portion of Table 4.1 that gives entropy data; only the enthalpy data remains. Explain how you could reconstruct the missing portion of the table. Use your method to explicitly check a few of the entries for consistency. How much of Table 4.2 could you reconstruct if it were missing? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We can say that the missing portion of table 4.1 is reconstructed by applying the second law of thermodynamics and the table 4.2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Table 4.1

And table 4.2.

02

Explanation

First express the change in entropy for steam at zero temperature

ΔS1=QT.....................................(1)

Where, Q is the heat change (absorbed or lost) and T is the temperature.

We know that the enthalpy is described as the energy that is required to produce a substance at fixed pressure.

Now write an expression of the change in entropy for water at given temperature

ΔS2=ΔHT...............................(2)

Where, ΔH - change in enthalpy

Substitute Q = 2501 kJ/kg and T =273 K in equation (1), we get

ΔS1=2501kJ·kg-1(273K)=9.156kJ·kg-1·K-1

This is the same value as in Table

Now, substitute ΔH = 42 KJ and T=278 K in equation (2), we get

ΔS2=42kJ.kg-1(278K)=0.151kJ·kg-1.K-1

This value is the same as in given table

Now write expression for the change in entropy for steam at given temperature

ΔS=ΔHT-nRΔPP...........................................(3)

Where, n is number of moles, R is gas constant, P is average pressure and ΔP is change in pressure.

Substitute ΔH=19 KJ.kg-1 ,T=278K, n= 55.55, R= 8.314 J/mole K, ΔP = 0.006bar and P=0.009 bar in expression (3),

ΔS=19kJ·kg-1(278K)-(55.55)(8.314J/mole·K)(0.006bar)(0.009bar)=-0.239kJ·kg-1·K-1

The entropy for steam at finite temperature is:

ΔS1+ΔS=9.156kJ·kg-1·K-1+-0.239kJ·kg-1·K-1=8.917kJ·kg-1·K-1

This value is very close to the value in the table.

So we can say that the missing portion of table 4.1 is reconstructed by applying the second law of thermodynamics and the table 4.2.

Estimate the maximum possible COP of a household air conditioner. Use any reasonable values for the reservoir temperatures.

Derive equation 4.10for the efficiency of the Otto cycle.

In an absorption refrigerator, the energy driving the process is supplied not as work, but as heat from a gas flame. (Such refrigerators commonly use propane as fuel, and are used in locations where electricity is unavailable.* ) Let us define the following symbols, all taken to be positive by definition:
Qf= heat input from flame
Qc= heat extracted from inside refrigerator
Qr= waste heat expelled to room
Tf= temperature of flame
Tc= temperature inside refrigerator
Tr= room temperature

(a) Explain why the "coefficient of performance" (COP) for an absorption refrigerator should be defined as Qc / Qf.
(b) What relation among Qf, Qc, and Qr is implied by energy conservation alone? Will energy conservation permit the COP to be greater than 1 ?
(c) Use the second law of thermodynamics to derive an upper limit on the COP, in terms of the temperatures Tf, Tc, and Tr alone.

Suppose you are told to design a household air conditioner using

HFC-134a as its working substance. Over what range of pressures would you have it operate? Explain your reasoning. Calculate the COP for your design, and compare to the COP of an ideal Carnot refrigerator operating between the same extreme temperatures.

Derive a formula for the efficiency of the Diesel cycle, in terms of the compression ratio V1/ V2and the cutoff ratio V3/ V2. Show that for a given compression ratio, the Diesel cycle is less efficient than the Otto cycle. Evaluate the theoretical efficiency of a Diesel engine with a compression ratio of 18 and a cutoff ratio of 2.
