Thermodynamics- FALL 2018

Assignment 2
Exercise 1
Write the statement of the 2nd law of thermodynamics:
1. Clausius statement:
2. Planck-Kelvin statement:
3. Entropy statement:

Exercise 2
Choose the right answer:
4. A phase change process is always one under constant
 Pressure
 Temperature
 Both
5. In order to vaporize a liquid, energy must be
 Added to the liquid
 Released from the liquid
 Energy has nothing to do with phase change
6. When temperature increased, the saturation pressure Psat (T )
 Increases
 Decreases
 There is no relationship between the two
7. It takes more energy to heat up a gas under constant volume than under constant pressure
 True
 False

Exercise 3
100 g of water vapor at 120°C is being cooled down until a temperature of -20°C.
1. Draw and label the diagram that shows the temperature as a function of time.
2. Draw and label the T-P diagram.
3. Draw and label the P-v diagram.

Exercise 4
An 80-L vessel contains 4 kg of refrigerant-134a at a pressure of 160 kPa.
Determine
1. the temperature,
2. the quality,
3. the enthalpy of the refrigerant, and
4. the volume occupied by the vapor phase.
Hint: use property tables if needed.

Exercise 5
N moles of an ideal gas are contained inside a piston cylinder system of section S. The piston has a
negligible mass and can move without friction. The walls of the cylinder are rigid and the system is
emerged in a thermal reservoir of temperature T.
A constant pressure P2 is applied on the piston. At the initial state the piston is blocked and the gas is at
the state (P1,V1,T). The piston then is unblocked and the system oscillates until it reaches a state of
equilibrium (P2,V2,T).
Caution: P2 could be higher or lower than P1.
1. Define an isothermal transformation. Is this transformation isothermal?
2. Prove( x−1 )−ln ( x ) >0 for all x >0
3. Determine the final volume as a function of P1, V1, and P2.
4. Determine the work done on\by the gas and the heat transferred to\from it.
5. Calculate the exchange entropy and the entropy created for the gas. How does the sign of these
entropies depend on the relative values of P1 and P2? What are the sources of irreversibility?

Exercise 6
The change in entropy dS of a system when it goes from one state to another is defined as dS = dQ rev/T
where dQrev is the heat that must be added to the system in a reversible process that brings the system
from the initial state to the final state.

capacity at a constant pressure of 1atm. Find the change in entropy of the system.
