Chapter 3: Evaluating Properties

Examples
One kilogram of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K, and 3 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2), initially at 2 bar, 450 K, are
confined to opposite sides of a rigid, well-insulated container, as illustrated in Fig. P3.62. The partition is free to
move and allows conduction from one gas to the other without energy storage in the partition itself. The air and
carbon dioxide each behave as ideal gases. Determine the final equilibrium temperature, in K, and the final
pressure, in bar, assuming constant specific heats.

Examples

*A piston–cylinder assembly contains 1 kg of nitrogen gas (N2). The gas expands from an initial state where T1 =700
K and p1 =5 bar to a final state where p2 =2 bar. During the process the pressure and specific volume are related by
pv^1.3
constant. Assuming ideal gas behavior and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the heat transfer
during the process, in kJ, using
(a) a constant specific heat evaluated at 300 K.
(b) a constant specific heat evaluated at 700 K.
(c) data from Table A-23.

Una pequeña estación termoeléctrica de salalamanta recibe combustoleo que aporta una
cierta energía térmo-química. La planta produce 60 MW que son suministrados a una red
eléctrica donde se conectan solo algunas colonias. La planta, inevitablemente, deja escapar
una cierta cantidad de agua caliente con 80MW, la cual es suministrada a la comunidad y
otro cierto porcentaje de MW son desperdiciados al medio ambiente tirando el agua
caliente a los ríos. Se sabe que la planta termoeléctrica tiene una eficiencia térmica del
0.40. Cálcule la energía aportada por el combustoleo y la energía tirada al río.
