Figure shows two paths that may be taken by a gas from an initial point i to a final point f. Path 1 consists of an isothermal expansion (work is 50 J in magnitude), an adiabatic expansion (work is 40 J in magnitude), an isothermal compression (work is 30 J in magnitude), and then an adiabatic compression (work is 25 J in magnitude). What is the change in the internal energy of the gas if the gas goes from point I to point f along path2?

Calculate the change in specific internal energy (?u) as air is heated from 300 K to 1000 K using (a) The PG model. (b) The IG model (for the IG model, use the IG system state daemon).
Determine the change in the internal energy of air, in kJ/kg, as it undergoes a change of state from 100 kPa 20oC to 600 kPa and 300oC using the equation of state P(v - a) = RT where a = 1 m3/kg, and compare the result to the value obtained by using the ideal gas equation of state.
Mini, Inc., earns pretax book net income of $750,000 in 2016. Mini deducted $20,000 in bad debt expense for book purposes. This expense is not yet deductible for tax purposes. Mini records no other temporary or permanent differences. Assuming that the pertinent U.S. tax rate is 35%, compute Mini\'s...
When the 56-year-old founder of Gulf & Western, Inc., died of a heart attack, the stock price immediately jumped from $18.00 a share to $20.25, a 12.5 percent increase. This is evidence of market inefficiency, because an efficient stock market would have anticipated his death and adjusted the price...

What is \"supply side\" economics? Using our model of LRAS-SRAS-AD, describe how supply side policies impact the economy in the long-run. Describe why some people argue supply side economics can reduce the deficit.
We know that for an adiabatic process pV? = a constant. Evaluate \"a constant\" for an adiabatic process involving exactly 2.0 mol of an ideal gas passing through the state having exactly p = 1.0 atm and T = 300 K. Assume a diatomic gas whose molecules rotate but do not oscillate.
Adiabatic wind the normal airflow over the Rocky Mountains is west to east. The air loses much of its moisture content and is chilled as it climbs the western side of the mountains. When it descends on the eastern side, the increase in pressure toward lower altitudes causes the temperature to...
Rod AB is held in place by the cord AC. Knowing that the tension in the cord is 1350 N and that c = 360 mm, determine the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied (a) At point A, (b) At point C.
