• A mass of gas is compressed in a quasi-static process from 80 kPa, 0.1 m3 to 0.4 MPa,
0.03 m3. Assuming that the pressure and volume are related by PVn = constant, find the
work done by the gas system.
• A reciprocating air compressor takes in 2 m3/min at 0.11 MPa, 20°C which it delivers
at 1.5 MPa, 111°C to an aftercooler where the air is cooled at constant pressure to 25°C.
The power absorbed by the compressor is 4.15 kW. Determine the heat transfer in
(a) The compressor
(b) The cooler
State your assumptions
• Two kg of water at 80°C are mixed adiabatically with 3 kg of water at 30°C in a constant
pressure process of 1 atmosphere. Find the increase in the entropy of the total mass of
water due to the mixing process (cp of water = 4.187 kJ/kg K).
• A new scale N of temperature is divided in such a way that the freezing point of ice is
100°N and the boiling point is 400°N. What is the temperature reading on this new
scale when the temperature is 170°C?
• A blower handles 1 kg/s of air at 20°C and consumes a power of 15 kW. The inlet and
outlet velocities of air are 100 m/s and 150 m/s respectively. Find the exit air
temperature, assuming adiabatic conditions. Take cp of air is 1.005 kJ/kg-K.
