A 10cmdiameter cylinder contains argon gas at 10atmpressure and a temperature of50°C. A piston can slide in and out of the cylinder. The cylinder's initial length is 20cm.2500J of heat are transferred to the gas, causing the gas to expand at constant pressure. What are (a) the final temperature and (b) the final length of the cylinder?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The final temperature is 526k.

b) The final length of the cylinder is24.9cm

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Diameter of the cylinder is =10cm

Pressure =10atm

Cylinder Initial length=20cm

Temperature=2500J

02

Explanation (Part a)

(a) Since the process is isothermic, the heat exchanged Qwill be given as a function of the temperature change ∆Tby,

Q=nCpΔT

Therefore, the temperature difference will be

ΔT=QnCp

Here we don't know the number nof moles, but again, we shouldn't calculate it numerically, but instead substitute its parametric expression.

From the ideal gas law, we can find nto be

pV=nRT⇒n=pVRT

Surely enough, when substituting we have to substitute all (p,V,T)belonging to the same state.

Substituting, we can find the temperature difference to be

ΔT=QCpRTpV=QRT1p1V1Cp

Therefore, the temperature T2will be

T2=T1+ΔT=T11+QRp1V1Cp

03

Explanation (Part a)

If unconvinced, one can perform dimensional analysis to confirm our expression.

In our situation, we are given the diameter of the cylinder and the initial height, not the initial volume.

Therefore, we can write

V1=Ah1=Ï€R2h1=Ï€D24h1

Substituting in the expression we found for the temperature, we have

T2=T11+4QRÏ€p1D2h1Cp

In our given numerical case, we will have

localid="1648560213496" T2=32K31+4×2500J×8.314J⋅K-1⋅mol-1π×10atm×1.01·105·0.12cm·0.2m·20.8=526K

04

Final Answer (Part a)

Therefore, the final temperature is526k.

05

Given Information (Part b)

Diameter of the cylinder is=10cm

Pressure=10atm

Cylinder Initial length=20cm

Temperature=2500J

06

Explanation (Part a)

Since the process is isobaric, we can write

V1T1=V2T2

The volume, however, as we mentioned, is V=Ah.

Substituting and then cancelling the cross-section areas we get

Ah1T1=Ah2T2⇒h2=T2T1h1

In our numerical case, we will have

localid="1648567822414" h2=526m2423K·20cm=24.9cm

07

Final Answer (Part b)

Therefore, final length of the cylinder is24.9cm

The volume of a gas is halved during an adiabatic compression that increases the pressure by a factor of 2.5.

a. What is the specific heat ratio g?

b. By what factor does the temperature increase?

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—a phase change—requires heat, and the heat energy is removed from your body. Evaporation is much like boiling, only water’s heat of vaporization at 35°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’s 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.)
