Answer:
T=151 K, U=-1.848*10^6J
Explanation:
The given process occurs when the pressure is constant. Given gas follows the Ideal Gas Law:
pV=nRT
For the given scenario, we operate with the amount of the gas- n- calculated in moles. To find n, we use molar mass: M=102 g/mol.
Using the given mass m, molar mass M, we can get the following equation:
pV=mRT/M
To calculate change in the internal energy, we need to know initial and final temperatures. We can calculate both temperatures as:
T=pVM/(Rm); so initial T=302.61K and final T=151.289K
Now we can calculate change of U:
U=3/2 mRT/M using T- difference in temperatures
U=-1.848*10^6 J
Note, that the energy was taken away from the system.
Answer:
The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.
Explanation:
For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.
Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)
where Q = volumetric flowrate
ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe
μ = fluid viscosity
L = pipe length
If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe
ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)
ΔP = Kμ
K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)
ΔP = Kμ
K = (ΔP/μ)
So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).
μ₁ = (μ/2)
The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then
ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)
Recall,
K = (ΔP/μ)
ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)
Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.

Answer:
a) -8 lb / ft^3
b) -70.4 lb / ft^3
c) 54.4 lb / ft^3
Explanation:
Given:
- Diameter of pipe D = 12 in
- Shear stress t = 2.0 lb/ft^2
- y = 62.4 lb / ft^3
Find pressure gradient dP / dx when:
a) x is in horizontal flow direction
b) Vertical flow up
c) vertical flow down
Solution:
- dP / dx as function of shear stress and radial distance r:
(dP - y*L*sin(Q))/ L = 2*t / r
dP / L - y*sin(Q) = 2*t / r
Where dP / L = - dP/dx,
dP / dx = -2*t / r - y*sin(Q)
Where r = D /2 ,
dP / dx = -4*t / D - y*sin(Q)
a) Horizontal Pipe Q = 0
Hence, dP / dx = -4*2 / 1 - 62.4*sin(0)
dP / dx = -8 + 0
dP/dx = -8 lb / ft^3
b) Vertical pipe flow up Q = pi/2
Hence, dP / dx = -4*2 / 1 - 62.4*sin(pi/2)
dP / dx = 8 - 62.4
dP/dx = -70.4 lb / ft^3
c) Vertical flow down Q = -pi/2
Hence, dP / dx = -4*2 / 1 - 62.4*sin(-pi/2)
dP / dx = -8 + 62.4
dP/dx = 54.4 lb / ft^3
