A horizontal cylinder equipped with a frictionless piston contains 785 cm3 of steam at 400 K and 125 kPa pressure. A total of 83.8 J of heat is transferred to the steam, causing the steam temperature and steam volume to rise at constant pressure (125 kPa). The specific enthalpy (in J/mol) of steam at 125 kPa varies with temperature as 34980+35.5T (where temperature T is in K). Taking the steam as the system, formulate the first law of thermodynamics.

Answer:

a. 478.69 K

b. 939.43 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

c. 19.30 J

d. 64.5J

Explanation:

From the question, we can identify the following;

[tex]V_{o}[/tex] = 785[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] = 0.000785 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

[tex]T_{o}[/tex] = 400K

[tex]P_{o}[/tex] = 125 Kpa =  125 000 Pa

Using the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where R is the molar gas constant = 8.314 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]⋅Pa⋅[tex]K^{-1}[/tex][tex]mol^{-1}[/tex]

Thus, n = PV/RT = (125000 × 0.000785)/(8.314 × 400) = 0.03 mol

a. Steam temperature in K

To calculate this, we use the constant pressure process;

q = nΔH

Where q is 83.8J according to the question

Thus;

83.8 = 0.03 × [34980 + 35.5[tex]T_{1}[/tex] - (34980 + 35.5[tex]T_{o}[/tex])]

83.8 = (0.03 × 35.5) ([tex]T_{1}[/tex] - 400K)

83.8 = 1.065 ([tex]T_{1}[/tex]  - 400)

78.69 = ([tex]T_{1}[/tex]  - 400)

[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = 400 + 78.69

[tex]T_{1}[/tex]  = 478.69 K

b. Final cylinder volume

To calculate this, we make use of the Charles' law(Temperature and pressure are directly proportional)

[tex]V_{1}[/tex]/[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = [tex]V_{o}[/tex]/[tex]T_{o}[/tex]

[tex]V_{1}[/tex]  =  [tex]V_{o}[/tex][tex]T_{1}[/tex]/[tex]T_{o}[/tex]

[tex]V_{1}[/tex]   = (785 × 478.69)/400

[tex]V_{1}[/tex]   = 939.43 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

c. Work done by the system

Mathematically, the work done by the system is calculated as follows;

w = P([tex]V_{1}[/tex]- [tex]V_{o}[/tex]) = 125 KPa ( 939.43 - 785) = 19.30 J

d. Change in internal energy of the steam in J

ΔU = q - w = 83.8 - 19.3 = 64.5J

a. The steam temperature in Kelvin is equal to 478.69 Kelvin.

b. The final volume of the steam is equal to [tex]9.39 \times 10^{-4}\;m^3[/tex]

c. The work done by the steam is equal to 19.25 Joules.

d. The change in internal energy of the steam in Joules is 64.55 Joules.

Given the following data:

  • Initial volume = 785 [tex]cm^3[/tex]
  • Initial temperature = 400 K
  • Initial pressure = 125 kPa
  • Quantity of energy = 83.8 Joules

Scientific data:

  • Ideal gas constant, R = 8.314 J/molK

a. To determine the steam temperature in Kelvin:

First of all, we would calculate the number of moles by using the ideal gas law equation:

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

Where;

  • P is the pressure.
  • n is the number of moles of a gas.
  • R is the ideal gas constant.
  • T is the temperature.
  • V is the volume.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]n=\frac{125 \times 10^3 \times 7.85 \times 10^{-4}}{8.314 \times 400}\\\\n=\frac{98.125}{3325.6}[/tex]

n = 0.030 moles.

From the equation of heat flow:

[tex]q =n \Delta H\\\\83.8=0.030 \times [(34980+35.5T_2) - (34980+35.5T_1)]\\\\83.8=0.030 \times [34980+35.5T_2 - 34980-35.5 \times 400]\\\\83.8=0.030 \times[35.5T_2-14200]\\\\83.8=1.065T_2-426\\\\1.065T_2=426+83.8\\\\1.065T_2=509.8\\\\T_2=\frac{509.8}{1.065} \\\\T_2=478.69\;K[/tex]

b. To determine the final volume, we would apply Charles's law:

[tex]\frac{V}{T} =k\\\\\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{7.5\times 10^{-4}}{400} = \frac{V_2}{478.69} \\\\7.5\times 10^{-4} \times 478.69 = 400V_2\\\\0.3590 = 400V_2\\\\V_2 = \frac{0.3590}{400}\\\\V_2 = 9.39\times 10^{-4}\;m^3[/tex]

c. To determine the work done by the steam:

[tex]W=P \Delta V\\\\W=P(V_2-V_1)\\\\W=125 \times 10^3(9.39 \times 10^{-4}-7.85 \times 10^{-4})\\\\W=125 \times 10^3(1.54 \times 10^{-4})\\\\W=19.25\;J[/tex]

Work done = 19.25 Joules.

d. To determine the change in internal energy of the steam in Joules:

[tex]\Delta U = q- W \\\\\Delta U = 83.8-19.25\\\\\Delta U = 64.55\;Joules[/tex]
