#Problem 2 3.4
In Joules experiments, the slow lowering of a weight turned a stirrer in an insulated container of
water. As a result of viscosity, the kinetic energy transferred from the stirrer to the water
eventually dissipated. In this process the potential energy of the water was first converted to
kinetic energy of the stirrer and the water, and then as a result of viscous forces, the kinetic
energy of the water was converted to thermal energy apparent as a rise in temperature.
Assuming no friction in the pulleys and no heat losses, how large a temperature rise would be
found in 1 kg of water as a result of a 1-kg weight being lowered 1 m?

#Problem 5 3.7
Consider the following statement: The adiabatic work necessary to cause a given change of state
in a closed system is independent of the path by which that change occurs.
a) Consider a process that changes system from state 1 to state 2 (state 1 and state 2 are fixed)
Energy balance equation for closed system

+)}
1
= +
State 1 and state 2 are fixed
Left hand side of the above equation = constant
Q + W = constant
But Q = 0 for any adiabatic path
W = constant for any adiabatic path

In illustration 3.4-6, we found that (Q + W) is the same for all path. This statement must also be
hold in any adiabatic path. However, in adiabatic path, Q + W = W, thus W is the same for all
adiabatic path. Because of this, this conclusion is not in contradict with illustration 3.4-16

b) Consider a system receives work Wa to change from state 1 to state 2 in an adiabatic path. Then
it releases work Wb to get back to state 1 in another adiabatic path
For these two different paths, energy balance equations for closed system, no heat exchange, with
neglect of kinetic and potential energy change give us (assume that U2 > U1)
U2 U1 = Wa (Wa > 0)
U1 U2 = Wb (Wb < 0)
Wa + Wb = 0 or |

| = |

|

If |

| > |

| then Wa + Wb < 0: we have generated more energy than we put in.

If |

| < |

| then Wa + Wb > 0: we just add energy to the system that goes nowhere.
In the first case, if we add the work Wa to the system to change from state 1 to state 2, and then
get back to state 1 on the path generating work Wb, then we would obtain a machine that generates
energy.

#Problem 8 3.15
An isolated chamber with rigid walls is divided into two equal compartments, one containing gas
and the other evacuated. The partition between the compartments ruptures. After the passage
of a sufficiently long period of time, the temperature and pressure are found to be uniform
throughout the chamber.
a) If the filled compartment initially contains an ideal gas of constant heat capacity at 1MPa and
500 K. what are the final temperature and pressure in the chamber?
Choose a system to be contents of both two compartments, named a and b.
Mass balance equation for this system is

A clever chemical engineer has devised the thermally operated elevator shown in the
accompanying diagram. The elevator compartment is made to rise by electrically heating the air
contained in the piston-and-cylinder drive mechanism, and the elevator is lowered by opening a
valve at the side of the cylinder, allowing the air in the cylinder to slowly escape. Once the
elevator compartment is back to the lower level, a small pump forces out the air remaining in the
cylinder and replaces it with air at 20 C and a pressure just sufficient to support the elevator
compartment. This cycle can then be repeated. There is no heat transfer between the piston,
cylinder, and the gas; the weight of the piston, elevator, and the elevator contents is 4000 kg;
the piston has a surface area of 2.5 m

elevator is at its lowest level is 25 m

You wish to measure the temperature of steam flowing in a pipe at pressure of 9MPa. To do this
task you connect a well-insulated tank of volume 0.4m
3
to this pipe through a valve. This tank
initially is at vacuum. The valve is opened, and the tank fills with steam until the pressure is 9
MPa. At this point the pressure of the pipe and tank are equal, and no more steam flows through
the valve. The valve is then closed. The temperature right after the valve is closed is measured to
be 800

in the pipe. You may assume the steam in the pipe stays at the same temperature and pressure

flow inside copper tubes and the steam will partially condense on the outside of the tubes. In this
