The normal airflow over the rocky mountains is west to east. The air loses much of its moisture content and is chilled as it climbes the western side of the mountains. When it descends on the eastern side, the increase in pressure toward lower altitudes causes the temperature to increase. The flow, then called a Chinook wind, can rapidly raise the air temperature at the base of the mountains. Assume that the air pressure p depends on altitude y according top=p0exp(-ay),wherep0=1.00atmanda=1.1610-4m-1. Also assume that the ratio of the molar specific heats is=4/3. A parcel of air with an initial temperature of-5.00Cdescends adiabatically fromy1=4267mtoy=1567m

What is its temperature at the end of the descent?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The temperature at the end of the descent is 17C.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • P=P0eay
  • P0=1鈥塧迟尘
  • a=1.16104m1
  • =43
  • Ti=5.00C
02

Understanding the concept

In case of adiabatic process,

pV=Constant

Here P is the pressure, V is the volume and is the ratio specific heat capacity at constant pressure to the specific heat capacity at constant volume.

=CPCV

Here CPis specific heat capacity at constant pressure and CVis specific heat capacity at constant volume.

03

Calculate the temperature at the end of the descent

First, find out the pressure at y=4267鈥尘usingthegiven formula

p=p0eay

Substitute4267鈥尘for y,1.16104m1for and forp0into the above equation,

pi=1e1.161044267=0.6095atm

For ,y=1567m,usethegiven formula

p=p0eay

Substitute 1567鈥尘for y,1.16104m1for and1鈥夆赌atmforp0into the above equation,

Pf=1e1.161041567=0.8337atm

Now using the concept of adiabatic process,

piVi=pfVf鈥︹ (1)

The ideal gas equation is given by,

pV=nRTVTP

SubstituteVTPinto the equation (1),

pi(Tipi)=pf(Tfpf)pi1Ti=pf1Tf

Substitute 0.6095atmfor pi, 43for , (2735)for Ti, 0.8337atmfor pfinto the above equation,

0.6095143(2735)43=0.8337143Tf43Tf=289.83290K=17C

Therefore the temperature at the end of the descent is17C

In a bottle of champagne, the pocket of gas (primarily carbon dioxide) between the liquid and the cork is at a pressure ofp1=5.00atm.When the cork is pulled from the bottle, the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion until its pressure matches the ambient air pressure of1.00atm.Assume that the ratio of the molar specific heats is=4/3. If the gas has initial temperatureTi=5.00C, what is the temperature at the end of the adiabatic expansion?

When the US submarine Squalus became disabled at a depth of, a cylindrical chamber was lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamber had a radius of1mand a height of4m, was open at the bottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that a diver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once the chamber reached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escape into the chamber. During the descent, air was released from tanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber.
