Shows two different processes taking an ideal gas from state i to state f.
Is the work done on the gas in process A greater than, less than, or equal to the work done in process B? Explain.

The sun's intensity at the distance of the earth is . of this energy is reflected by water and clouds; is absorbed. What would be the earth's average temperature (in ) if the earth had no atmosphere? The emissivity of the surface is very close to 1 . (The actual average temperature of the earth, about , is higher than your calculation because of the greenhouse effect.)
of nitrogen gas at STP are adiabatically compressed to a pressure of . What are (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done on the gas, (c) the heat transfer to the gas, and (d) the compression ratio ? (e) Show the process on a diagram, using proper scales on both axes.
A typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW (1000 MJ/s) of electrical energy. In doing so, it produces 2000 MW of 鈥渨aste heat鈥 that must be removed from the reactor to keep it from melting down. Many reactors are sited next to large bodies of water so that they can use the water for cooling. Consider a reactor where the intake water is at 18掳C. State regulations limit the temperature of the output water to 30掳C so as not to harm aquatic organisms. How many liters of cooling water have to be pumped through the reactor each minute?
A 5.0 g ice cube at -20掳C is in a rigid, sealed container from which all the air has been evacuated. How much heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 200掳C? Steam has CV = 1500 J/kgK and CP = 1960 J/kgK
