    This document contains a student's answers to 9 questions about thermodynamics. The student correctly identifies Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot as the father of thermodynamics. They explain that an office worker's claim about a cup of coffee warming from cold air violates the second law of thermodynamics. When analyzing gas flow through a nozzle, the student determines it is an open system. They also accurately define specific gravity and relate it to density.

    Answer the following statements below. Determine what is being asked for in the following statements.
    Write your answers on the blanks provided.

    1. Who is the father of Thermodynamics?

    - The father of Thermodynamics is Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot.

    2. An office worker claims that a cup of cold coffee on his table warmed up to 80°C by
    picking up energy from the surrounding air, which is at 25°C. Is there any truth to his
    claim? Does this process violate any thermodynamic laws?

    - It violates the second law of Thermodynamics, because the coffee cannot gain energy if the
    surrounding has lower energy than the coffee. So it’s impossible to for the coffee to warm up in
    that surrounding.

    3. When analyzing the acceleration of gases as they flow through a nozzle, what type of
    system is this?

    - For computing the acceleration of the gases, it is important to analyze the flow through the inlet
    and outlet of the nozzle. Hence, treating the boundaries of the nozzle as the system, it is quite
    evident that the gases flow past the boundaries. Therefore, it is an open system.

    4. What is specific gravity? How is it related to density?

    - Specific gravity is the density of a substance divided by the density of water. Since at standard
    temperature and pressure, water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel,
    specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density.

    5. What is the weight, in N, of an object with a mass of 200 kg at a location where g=9.6
    m/s2?

    6. What is the temperature of the heated air at 150°C in °F and R?

    7. Determine the atmospheric pressure at a location where the barometric reading is 750 mmHg. Take
    the density of mercury to be 13,600 kg/m3.
    8. At sea level, the weight of 1 kg mass in SI units is 9.81 N. The weight of 1 lbm mass in English
    units is
    (a) 1 lbf (b) 9.81 lbf (c) 32.2 lbf (d ) 0.1 lbf (e) 0.031 lbf

    9. Consider a 2-m deep swimming pool. The pressure difference between the top and bottom of
    the pool is (show your solution)

    (a) 12.0 kPa (b) 19.6 kPa (c) 38.1 kPa (d) 50.8 kPa (e) 200 kPa
