An interplanetary probe of volume 300 ft3 contains air at 14.7 psia and 77oF. The heaters fail and the air begins to cool. Assume heat is dissipated from the outside of the spacecraft by radiation at a steady rate of 60 Btu/h. On board electronics generate 12 W on average. Estimate the time required for the air to cool to –30oF.

A piston-cylinder contains 6.9 lbm of water initially at 300 psia and 500°F. The volume then doubles in a polytropic process to a final pressure of 200 psia. How much heat was added, in units of Btu. Use a negative sign if heat actually removed instead of added. Selected Answer: 753.48 Correct Answer: 1,293.8 - 1096
