51. A 560kg concrete table needs to be supported at the four corners by compressed-air cylinders. Each cylinder is 25cm in diameter and has a 1.20m initial length when the pressure inside is 1.0atm. A hoist lowers the table very slowly, compressing the cylinders while allowing them to stay in thermal equilibrium with their surroundings. How much work has been done on the gas of the four cylinders when the table reaches its equilibrium position?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amount of work has been done on the gas of the four cylinders when the table reaches its equilibrium position is,

W=paD2h1lnpapa+mgD2

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Concrete table weight =560kg

Diameter of the cylinder =25cm

Initial lengthrole="math" localid="1648018532150" =1.20m

Pressure=1.0atm

02

Explanation 

It is clear from the text that this is an isothermal process.

The work in an isothermal process is given by,

W=-nRTlnVfVi

What we need to find is the volume ratio, the number of moles, and the temperature Since this is an isothermal process, we can write thatp1V1=p2V2V2V1=p1p2

As for the pressures, on the other side, we know that p1=pa=1.01106Pawhile the second pressure will be,

p2=p1+FA

03

Explanation 

The added term is the pressure coming from the weight distributed on the four cylinders with total cross-section area A. Knowing the diameter Dof all these cylinders and the fact that there are 4 such cylinders, we can write that

p2=p1+mg4D24p2=p1+mgD2

This means that we now know the volume ratio to be

V2V1=papa+mgD2

As for n, let's express this by the Ideal Gas Law: we'll see that this will solve us our problem.

pV=nRTn=pVRT

Substituting in the expression for the work, we have

W=-pVRTRTlnpapa+mgD2

Substituting, and taking note that we just need to put values of the pressure and volume at the beginning from the same instant -- let this be the initial values, we have

W=-paD2h1lnpapa+mgD2

04

Final Answer

Substituting our numerical values, we have

W=(L1.01105Pa0.252m1.20mln)1.01105Pa1.01105Pa+560kg9.8g0.252m

Multiply the expression,

W=5800J

Draw a first-law bar chart (see Figure 19.12) for the gas process in Figure EX19.6.

When air is inhaled, it quickly becomes saturated with water vapor as it passes through the moist airways. Consequently, an adult human exhales about 25 mg of evaporated water with each breath. Evaporation鈥攁 phase change鈥攔equires heat, and the heat energy is removed from your body. Evaporation is much like boiling, only water鈥檚 heat of vaporization at 35掳C is a somewhat larger 24 * 105 J/kg because at lower temperatures more energy is required to break the molecular bonds. At 12 breaths/min, on a dry day when the inhaled air has almost no water content, what is the body鈥檚 rate of energy loss (in J/s) due to exhaled water? (For comparison, the energy loss from radiation, usually the largest loss on a cool day, is about 100 J/s.)
