    Tutorial – 1

    1. Classify the following quantities as extensive or intensive:


    (a) P, (b) T, (c) V , (d) E + PV, (e) PT/V, (f) P/T, (g) PV/T 2

    2. A variable  depends on temperature (T) and volume (V). The change in the value of  is written as,
    𝑅𝑇
    (𝐴𝑇 2 + 𝐵𝑇 + 𝐶)𝑑𝑇 + 𝑑𝑉
    𝑉
    A, B, C and R, are constants. Determine if  is a property or not.

    3. Discuss the path independence of the following


    quantities, for the paths A-B-C, A-D-C, and A-C: D (1, 3) C (2, 3)

    4. Consider a thin horizontal tube 1 m long sealed at both ends. The middle 10 cm of the tube contains
    mercury and the rest of the tube contains air at atmospheric pressure (= 76 cm of mercury). The tube is
    now brought to a vertical position. How far will the mercury fall? Assume that changes in the pressure
    and volume of the air are related by PV = constant. [2.94 cm]

    5. A cylinder of 25.25 cm dia in which a


    piston is retained by a spring contains 0.01 m3 of air.
    A mercury manometer connected to the cylinder
    initially reads as shown in the figure. The air is now
    heated steadily until the piston rises slowly a distance
    of 20 cm. At any instant during this process, the
    bottom surface of the piston and the mercury
    meniscus in the open limb are at the same level.
    10 cm

    Assume that the weight of the piston is negligible and Air


    that the density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3 and that
    the atmospheric pressure is 1 bar. Find (a) the initial
    and the final pressures of the air in the cylinder and (b)
    the relation between the pressure p and the volume V
    of the air. [(a) 113342 N/m2, 166710 N/m2; (b) pair =
    patm + ρg{0.1 + 39.94 × (V – 0.01)}]

    6. A gas is contained in a piston cylinder mechanism at an initial pressure
    of 1 bar. The piston diameter is 15 cm and it rests on stops initially as
    shown in the figure. The piston weight is such that it requires a
    pressure of 1.2 bar to be lifted from the stops. The gas is now heated
    which causes the piston to rise slowly. After a rise of 10 cm, the piston
    touches a linear spring with a stiffness value of 10 N/mm. The heating
    of the gas is finally stopped when the spring is compressed by 1 cm. 25 cm
    Gas
    Determine the work interaction for the gas, piston, spring and the
    atmosphere. Also sketch the process undergone by the gas on a PV
    diagram and show the four work interactions mentioned above by hatching the appropriate areas.
    [233.67 J, -38.86 J, -0.509 J, -194.3 J]

    7. Consider the frictionless piston-cylinder arrangement shown in the Patm


    figure, in which two pistons are connected by a thin rod of negligible
    mass and volume. A certain amount of air is enclosed in the space
    between the pistons such that the piston assembly is initially in

    Air
    equilibrium. The cross-sectional area of the upper piston is 10 cm2 Q
    greater than the lower one. The combined mass of the pistons is 5 kg. A
    very slow heating process now takes place as a result of which the
    piston assembly moves upward by 25 cm. Determine (a) the initial
    pressure of the air, (b) the work interaction for the piston assembly, (c)
    Patm
    the work interaction for the atmosphere and (d) the work interaction for
    5 2
    air. Take Patm = 10 Pa. Sketch the process undergone by the air on a PV diagram. [(a) 149050 N/m ; (b)
    12.2625 J; (c) 25.0 J; (d) 37.2625 J]

    8. Tank A shown in the figure has a volume of 0.4 m3 and contains argon gas at 250 kPa. Cylinder B contains
    a frictionless piston of mass such that a pressure of 150 kPa is required
    to lift it. The connecting valve is opened allowing the argon gas to flow A B
    into the cylinder. Eventually the argon gas reaches a uniform state.
    Determine (a) the final pressure (b) the work interaction for the argon
    gas, piston and the atmosphere. Take the atmospheric pressure to be
    100 kPa. Any change in the state of the argon gas is related through PV
    = constant. [(a) 150 kPa; (b) 40000 J, -13333.5 J, 26667 J]
