Chapter 2: Problem 74

The following table gives data, in \(\mathrm{kJ}\), for a system undergoing a power cycle consisting of four processes in series. Determine, the (a) missing table entries, each in kJ, and (b) the thermal efficiency. $$ \begin{array}{crrr} \text { Process } & \Delta E & Q & W \\ \hline 1-2 & -1200 & 0 & \\ 2-3 & & 800 & \\ 3-4 & & -200 & -200 \\ 4-1 & 400 & & 600 \end{array} $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
All missing entries in kJ: \( W_{1-2} = 1200, \Delta E_{2-3} = 800, W_{2-3} = 0, Q_{4-1} = 1000 \). Thermal efficiency is 1 (or 100%).

Step by step solution

01

- Apply Energy Balance Equation

For each process in the cycle, use the energy balance equation: \[ \ Delta E = Q - W \ \]
02

- Determine Missing Work for Process 1-2

Using \( \Delta E = Q - W \) for process 1-2: \[ -1200 = 0 - W \] \( W_{1-2} = 1200 \mathrm{kJ} \)
03

- Determine Missing Energy Change for Process 2-3

Using \( \Delta E = Q - W \) for process 2-3: Rearrange to find \( \Delta E \). Since \( Q = 800 \mathrm{kJ} \) and \( W \) is missing, we need more information to solve \( \Delta E \). This will be filled in later based on the total cycle balance.
04

- Determine Work for Process 3-4

Using \( \Delta E = Q - W \) for process 3-4: \[ \Delta E_{3-4} = -200 - (-200) = 0 \]
05

- Determine Heat for Process 4-1

Using \( \Delta E = Q - W \) for process 4-1: \[ 400 = Q - 600 \] \( Q_{4-1} = 1000 \mathrm{kJ} \)
06

- Check Energy Balance for Entire Cycle

Sum of \( \Delta E \) for entire cycle should equal zero as it returns to initial state: \[ -1200 + \Delta E_{2-3} + 0 + 400 = 0 \] Solve for \( \Delta E_{2-3} \): \( \Delta E_{2-3} = 800 \mathrm{kJ} \).\[ W_{2-3} = Q_{2-3} - \Delta E_{2-3} = 800 \mathrm{kJ} - 800 \mathrm{kJ} = 0 \]
07

- Determine Thermal Efficiency

Use the formula for thermal efficiency: \[ \eta = \frac{W_{cycle}}{Q_{in}} \] where total work, \( W_{cycle} = 600 + 1200 \), and total input heat \( Q_{in} \) includes positive heat transfers, which are 800 + 1000. Thus, \[ \eta = \frac{1800 \mathrm{kJ}}{1800 \mathrm{kJ}} = 1 \]

These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.

Energy Balance Equation
The energy balance equation is fundamental in thermodynamics. It helps us analyze different processes within a cycle. For any thermodynamic process, the energy change can be expressed using the equation:
\( \Delta E = Q - W \)

This means the change in internal energy (\

A composite plane wall consists of a 12 -in.-thick layer of insulating concrete block \(\left(\kappa_{\mathrm{c}}=0.27 \mathrm{Btu} / \mathrm{h} \cdot \mathrm{ft} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\right)\) and a \(0.625\)-in.-thick layer of gypsum board \(\left(\kappa_{\mathrm{b}}=1.11 \mathrm{Btu} / \mathrm{h}\right.\) \(\mathrm{ft} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\) ). The outer surface temperature of the concrete block and gypsum board are \(460^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\) and \(560^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\), respectively, and there is perfect contact at the interface between the two layers. Determine at steady state the instantaneous rate of heat transfer, in \(\mathrm{Btu} / \mathrm{h}\) per \(\mathrm{ft}^{2}\) of surface area, and the temperature, in \({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\), at the interface between the concrete block and gypsum board.

Beginning from rest, an object of mass \(200 \mathrm{~kg}\) slides down a 10-m-long ramp. The ramp is inclined at an angle of \(40^{\circ}\) from the horizontal. If air resistance and friction between the object and the ramp are negligible, determine the velocity of the object, in \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\), at the bottom of the ramp. Let \(g=9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

A vertical piston-cylinder assembly with a piston of mass \(25 \mathrm{~kg}\) and having a face area of \(0.005 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) contains air. The mass of air is \(2.5 \mathrm{~g}\), and initially the air occupies a volume of \(2.5\) liters. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of \(100 \mathrm{kPa}\) on the top of the piston. The volume of the air slowly decreases to \(0.001 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) as energy with a magnitude of \(1 \mathrm{~kJ}\) is slowly removed by heat transfer. Neglecting friction between the piston and the cylinder wall, determine the change in specific internal energy of the air, in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}\). Let \(g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

Air expands adiabatically in a piston-cylinder assembly from an initial state where \(p_{1}=100 \mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{in}^{2}, v_{1}=3.704 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{lb}\), and \(T_{1}=1000^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\), to a final state where \(p_{2}=50 \mathrm{lbf} /\) in. \({ }^{2}\) The process is polytropic with \(n=1.4\). The change in specific internal energy, in Btu/lb, can be expressed in terms of temperature change as \(\Delta u=(0.171)\left(T_{2}-T_{1}\right)\). Determine the final temperature, in \({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\). Kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected.

Oxygen \(\left(\mathrm{O}_{2}\right)\) gas within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes an expansion from a volume \(V_{1}=0.01 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) to a volume \(V_{2}=0.03 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\). The relationship between pressure and volume during the process is \(p=A V^{-1}+B\), where \(\mathrm{A}=\) \(0.06\) bar \(\cdot \mathrm{m}^{3}\) and \(B=3.0\) bar. For the \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), determine (a) the initial and final pressures, each in bar, and (b) the work, in \(\mathrm{kJ}\).
