A vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2 m3 of air at 20°C. The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a c

onstant pressure of 300 kPa inside. Now a valve connected to the cylinder device is opened, and air is allowed to escape until the volume inside the cylinder is decreased by one-half. Heat transfer is allowed during the process so that the temperature of the air in the cylinder remains constant. Determine (a) the amount of air that has left the cylinder and (b) the amount of heat transfer.

Answer:

Amount of air left in the cylinder=m_{2}=0.357 Kg

The amount of heat transfer=Q=0

Explanation:

Given

Initial pressure=P1=300 KPa

Initial volume=V1=0.2m^{3}

Initial temperature=T_{1}=20 C

Final Volume=V_{2}=0.1 m^{3}

Using gas equation

m_{1}=((P_{1}*V_{1})/(R*T_{1}))

m1==(300*0.2)/(.287*293)

m1=0.714 Kg

Similarly

m2=(P2*V2)/R*T2

m2=(300*0.1)/(0.287*293)

m2=0.357 Kg

Now calculate mass of air left,where me is the mass of air left.

me=m2-m1

me=0.715-0.357

mass of air left=me=0.357 Kg

To find heat transfer we need to apply energy balance equation.

Q=(m_{e}*h_{e})+(m_{2}*h_{2})-(m_{1}*h_{1})

Where me=m1-m2

And as the temperature remains constant,hence the enthalpy also remains constant.

h1=h2=he=h

Q=(me-(m1-m2))*h

me=m1-me

Thus heat transfer=Q=0

Why is the reflection step in the engineering process the most important step?
Monica [59]
Reflection helps designers to learn from their experiences, to integrate and co-ordinate different aspects of a design situation, to judge the progress of the design process, to evaluate interactions with the design context, and to plan suitable future design activities.

Calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater containing 3.5 wt % NaCl at 25 °C . If reverse osmosis is applied to treat seawater,
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is

' =58.638 atm

Explanation:

Suppose sea-water taken is M= 1 kg

Density of water = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore Volume of water= Mass,M/Density of water

V= 1 kg/(1000 kg/m3)

V= 10-3 m3= 1 Litre

Since mass of Nacl is 3.5 wt%,Therefore in 1 kg of water

Mass present of NaCl= m= 0.035*1000 g

m= 35 g

Since molecular weight of NaCl= 58.44 g/mol =M.W.

Thus its Number of moles of Nacl= m/M.W

nNaCl= 35g/58.44 gmol-1

= 0.5989 mol

ans since volume of solution is 1 L thus concentration of NaCl is ,C= number of moles/Volume of solution in Litres

C= 0.5989mol/ 1L

=0.5989 M

Since 1 mol NaCL disssociates to form 2 moles of ions of Na+ andCl- Thus van't hoff factor i=2

And osmotic pressure  = iCRT ------------------------------(1)( Where R= 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K and T= 25oC= 298.15 K)

Putting in equation 1 ,we get  = 2*(0.5989 mol/L)*(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)*298.15 K

=29.319 atm

Now as the water gets filtered out of the membrane,the water's volume decreases and concentration C of NacL increases, thus osmotic pressure also increases.Thus, at 50% water been already filtered out, the osmotic pressure at the membrane will be maximum

Thus Volume of water left after 50% is filtered out as fresh water= 0.5 L (assuming no salt passes through semi permeable membrane)

Thus New concentration of NaCl C'= 2*C

C'=2*0.5989 M

=1.1978 M

and Since Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to concentration, Thus As concentration C doubles to C', Osmotic Pressure  ' also doubles from  ,

Thus,Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is,  '=2*  

=2*29.319 atm

' =58.638 atm
