Question: Determine ( a ) the specific volume and ( b ) the density of 2 0 kg of methane gas contained in a 2 0

Determine (a) the specific volume and (b) the density of 20 kg of methane gas contained in a 20m3
tank. The gage pressure of the methane is 61.2 kPa and the methane is in thermal equilibrium with
the surroundings. The temperature and the absolute pressure of the surroundings in which the tank
exists are 40C and 100 kPa , respectively.
During January in Montana, the temperature on the Celsius scale reads identical to the temperature
on the Fahrenheit scale. (a) What is this temperature? (b) What is this temperature in K?(c) What is
this temperature in R?
In order to fly, the thoracic temperature of a butterfly must be between 97F and 104F. Determine
the size of this temperature range (7F) in K,C, and R . Does the size of this range differ when
measured in relative or absolute units?
A secret gas is confined in a flexible container. The pressure and specific volume are 1 MPa and 0.5
m3kg. The gas expands to a new pressure of 250 kPa . The relation between pressure and specific
volume is Pv1.4= constant. Determine the specific volume at the 250 kPa .
A piston-cylinder assembly containing a gas goes through the following processes:
a.1-2: Beginning at P1=1 bar and V1=1.0m3, the gas is compressed to V2=0.2m3. The
compression process is described by: pV= constant
b.2-3: Constant-pressure expansion to V3=1.0m3
c.3-1 : The volume remains constant.
Graph these processes on a p-V diagram. Label the pressure and volume values at each numbered
state.
A 1100 kg automobile moves at a constant speed of 45kmhr.(a) Determine the kinetic energy of
the automobile. (b) If the automobile accelerates to 75kmhr, what is the change in kinetic energy
of the automobile?
Tabulated below is information about 5 different processes that occur in a closed system. Fill in the
blank spaces. Assume all units are the same.
One kg of gas is compressed (i.e., its volume is reduced) by cooling at a constant pressure of 400
kPa . The reduction in gas volume results in an energy transfer to the system of 168 kJ in the form of
boundary work. If the initial specific volume is 0.72m3kg, what is the final volume of the gas in m3?
