August 29, 2001 Reading: Chapter Two Homework: 2.1,2.3,2.5,2.

Numerical Examples: Example 1 (problem 2.2, page 35): One mole of a monatomic ideal gas, in the initial state T = 273 K, P = 1 atm, is subjected to the flowing three processes, each of which is conducted reversibly: a. A doubling of its volume at constant pressure b. Then a doubling of its pressure at constant volume c. Then a return to the initial sate along the path P = 6.643X10-4V2 + 0.6667 Calculate the heat and work effects that occur during each of the three processes. Solutions: Initial state of the gas: P1 = 1atm, T1 = 273 K, V1 = RT1/P1 = 0.08206x273/1 liters = 22.4 liters a. At the state a: Pa = 1atm, Va=2V1 = 44.8 liters, Ta = PaVa/R = 44.8/0.08206 K = 546 K qa = Cp (Ta - T1) = 2.5x8.3144x(546 273) = 5.67 Kilojoules wa = PdV = P(Va V1 ) = 22.4 x 101.3 joules = 2.27 kilojoules

b. At the state b: Pb = 2Pa = 2 atm, Vb = Va = 44.8 liters Tb = PbVb/R = 44.8x2/0.08206 K = 1092 K qb = Cv(Tb-Ta) = 1.5x8.3144x(1092-546) = 6.81 Kilojoules wb = 0 c. At the state c: Pc = P1 = 1 atm, Vc = V1 = 22.4 liters, Tc = T1 = 273 K

Calculate the work done, the heat absorbed, and the change in U and H for the gas if the process is carried out (1) isothermally and Reversibly, and (2) adiabatically and reversibly. Having determined the final state of the gas after the reversible adiabatic expansion, verify that the change in U for the process is independent of the path taken between the initial and final states by considering the following alternative processes: i. ii. iii. iv. v. An isothermal process followed by an isometric process An isometric process followed by an isothermal process An isothermal process followed by an isobaric process An isometric process followed by an isobaric process An isobaric process followed by an isometric process
