A 12 cm diameter piston-cylinder device contains air at a pressure of 100 kPa at 24oC. The piston is initially 20 cm from the ba

se of the cylinder. The gas is now compressed and 0.1 kJ of boundary work is added to the gas. The temperature of the gas remains constant during this process.
a. How much heat was transferred to/from the gas?
b. What is the final volume and pressure in the cylinder?
c. Find the change in entropy of the gas. Why is this value negative if entropy always increases in actual processes?

Answer:

ΔQ = 0.1 kJ

\mathbf{v_f = 1.445*10^{-3}  m^3}

\mathbf{P_f = 156.5 \ kPa}

ΔS = -0.337 J/K

The value negative is due to the fact that there is need to be the same amount of positive change in surrounding as a result of compression.

Explanation:

GIven that:

Diameter of the piston-cylinder = 12 cm

Pressure of the piston-cylinder = 100 kPa

Temperature =24 °C

Length of the piston = 20 cm

Boundary work ΔW = 0.1 kJ

The gas is compressed and The temperature of the gas remains constant during this process.

We are to find ;

a. How much heat was transferred to/from the gas?

According to the first law of thermodynamics ;

ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW

Given that the temperature of the gas remains constant during this process; the isothermal process at this condition ΔU = 0.

Now

ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW

ΔQ = 0 + 0.1 kJ

ΔQ = 0.1 kJ

Thus; the amount of heat that was transferred to/from the gas is : 0.1 kJ

b. What is the final volume and pressure in the cylinder?

In an isothermal process;

Workdone W = \int dW

W = \int pdV \\ \\ \\W = \int \dfrac{nRT}{V}dv \\ \\ \\ W = nRt \int  \dfrac{dv}{V}  \\ \\ \\ W  = nRT In V |^{V_f} __{V_i}}  \\ \\ \\ W = nRT \ In \dfrac{V_f}{V_i}

Since the gas is compressed ; then v_f< v_i

However;

W =- nRT \ In \dfrac{V_f}{V_i}

W =- P_1V_1  \ In \dfrac{V_f}{V_i}

The initial volume for the cylinder is calculated as ;

v_1 = \pi r^2 h \\ \\   v_1 = \pi r^2 L \\ \\ v_1 = 3.14*(6*10^{-2})^2*(20*10^{-2}) \\ \\ v_1 = 2.261*10^{-3} \ m^3

Replacing over values into the above equation; we have :

100 =  - ( 100*10^3 *2.261*10^{_3}) In (\dfrac{v_f}{v_i}) \\ \\ - In (\dfrac{v_f}{v_i})= \dfrac{100}{(100*10^3*2.261*10^{-3})} \\ \\ - In \ v_f  + In \  v_i = \dfrac{100}{226.1} \\ \\   - In \ v_f  = - In \ v_i + \dfrac{100}{226.1}  \\ \\  - In \ v_f  = - In (2.261*10^{-3} + \dfrac{100}{226.1 } \\ \\  - In \ v_f  = 6.1 + 0.44 \\ \\  - In \ v_f  = 6.54 \\ \\  - In \ v_f  = -6.54 \\ \\ v_f = e^{-6.54} \\ \\ \mathbf{v_f = 1.445*10^{-3}  m^3}

The final pressure can be calculated by using :

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \\ \\ P_iV_i = P_fV_f

P_f =\dfrac{P_iV_i}{V_f}

P_f =\dfrac{100*2.261*10^{-3}}{1.445*10^{-3}}

P_f = 1.565*10^2 \ kPa

\mathbf{P_f = 156.5 \ kPa}

c. Find the change in entropy of the gas. Why is this value negative if entropy always increases in actual processes?

The change in entropy of the gas is given  by the formula:

\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{T}

where

T =  24 °C = (24+273)K

T = 297 K

\Delta S=\dfrac{-100 \ J}{297 \ K}

ΔS = -0.337 J/K

The value negative is due to the fact that there is need to be the same amount of positive change in surrounding as a result of compression.

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

What does it mean, if the specific gravity of an object is less than one?​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Specific gravity can be used to determine if an object will sink or float on water. ... If an object or liquid has a specific gravity greater than one, it will sink. If the specific gravity of an object or a liquid is less than one, it will float.

hope this helps, have a great day/night, and stay safe!
