A sample of gas expands from V1 = 1.1 m3 and p1 = 46 Pa to V2 = 4.8 m3 and p2 = 18 Pa along path B in the p-V diagram in the figure below. It is then compressed back to V1 along either path A or path C. Compute the net work done by the gas for the complete cycle along (a) path BA and (b) path BC.
Work done is equal to area under the P-V curve.q
For clock wise curve work done is negative that is work done by the gas.
And for anti clock wise curve the work done is positive that is work done on the gas.
(A) WBA =(V2-V1)(P1-P2)/2=(4.8-1.1)(46-18)/2=+51.8J Ans
(B) WBC =(V2-V1)(P2-P1)/2=-51.8J ANS
A sample of gasexpands from V1 and p1 to V2 and p2 along path B in the p-Vdiagram in Figure 18-56. It is then compressed back to V1 along either path A or path C. Compute the net work done by the gasfor the complete cycle along (a) path BA and (b) path BC in terms of the variables given.
A gas is compressed from V1 = 0.3 m3, p1 = 1 bar to V2 = 0.1 m3, p2 = 1.9 bar. Pressure and volume are related linearly during the process. For the gas, find the work, in kJ.
Situation 1: A gas expands at constant pressure P1 from volume V1 to volume V2. It is then kept at constant volume while the pressure is reduced to P2. Situation 2: A gas is reduced in pressure from P1 to P2 while its volume is held constant at V1. It is then expanded at constant pressure P2 to a final volume V2. In which of the processes is more work done by the gas? Why?
If a gas is compressed isentropically such that: P1 = initial pressure in Pa P2 = final pressure in Pa V1 = initial volume in m3 V2 = final volume in m3 T1 = initial temperature in K T2 = final temperature in K, then prove the following relationship: ?1?−1?1 = ?2?−1?2
An ideal monatomic gas goes from P1 = 140 atm and V1 = 55 m3 to P2 and V2 via an adiabatic process. If P2 = 60 atm, what is V2 in m3?
An ideal monatomic gas goes from P1 = 150 atm and V1 = 25 m3 to P2 and V2 via an adiabatic process. If P2 = 40 atm, what is V2 in m3?
A sample of gas expands from 2.0 m3 to 8.0 m3 while its pressure decreases from 8.0 Pa to 2.0 Pa. How much work is done by the gas if its pressure changes with volume via each of the three paths shown in the figure?
a. Find the work done BY a gas as it expands and is taken from state I to state F along the path IABF indicated in the PV diagram below given that P; = 4 x 106 Pa, Pr= 1 x 106 Pa, V; = 2 m), and Vf= 10 m². First, scale the graph according to these values. b. How much work is done BY the gas if it is now compressed from state F to state I along...
