INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 1

Instruction: Answer all questions, submit this assignment during the next class.

Q1 What are the difference between a thermodynamics open

system and a closed system?
*You need to sketch both systems, and differentiate them
in terms of boundary, and energy that crossing the
boundaries (as work and heat).

Q2 a) What is the difference between gage pressure,

atmospheric pressure and absolute pressure?
b) What is the differences between intensive and
extensive properties?
c) What do you understand about isothermal, isobaric,
adiabatic, isometric, and isochoric process?
d) What is the difference between specific weight and
specific gravity?
e) What is Pascals law? Give a real-world example of
a system using this law and sketch it. Figure Q4

Q5 The absolute pressure of manometer shown in Figure Q5

Q3 A double-U manometer with a pressure gauge is
connected to a gasoline pipe as shown in Figure Q3. If the
reading of the pressure gage is 570 kPa, determine the
gage pressure of the gasoline inside the pipe line.
is 270 kPa. If the specific gravity of oil is 0.82 and specific
gravity of kerosene is 0.75. Determine the local
atmospheric pressure in bar.

Figure Q5

Q4 Figure Q4 shows a manometer is attached to a tank of gas

in which the pressure is greater than that of the
surroundings. The manometer liquid is mercury, with a
density of 14 g/cm3. The difference in mercury levels in
the manometer is 3 cm. Atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa.
Calculate the gauge and absolute pressure (in kPa) of the
gas.
