The pressure in the cylinder is uniform during the process at $80 kPa$, while atmospheric pressure is $101.325 kPa$, the difference being due to the flow resistance in the induction pipe and the inlet valve. Estimate the displacement work done by the air finally in the cylinder. \subsection*{Solution} \begin{align*} \text{Area of the Piston} &= 0.0045m^2 \\ \text{displacement} &= 75 mm = 0.075 m \\ \text{Volume covered} = \Delta V &= 0.075 \times 0.0045 m^3 \\ \Delta V &= 0.0003375 m^3 \\ \text{pressure in the cylinder is constant} &= 80 kPa \\ \text{Work done} = p \Delta V &= 80 kPa \times 0.0003375 m^3 = 27 J \end{align*} \section*{Question 2} A mass of gas is compressed in a quasi-static process from $80 kPa, 0.1m^3$ to $0.4 MPa, 0.03 m^3$. Assuming that the pressure and volume are related by $pv^n = constant$, find the work done by the gas system. \subsection*{Solution} Quasi-static process is a thermodynamic process that happens slowly enough for the system to remain in internal equilibrium. Given \begin{align*} P_1 &= 80 kPa \\ P_2 &= 0.4 MPa = 400 kPa \\ V_1 &= 0.1 m^3 \\ V_2 &= 0.03 m^3 \\ \end{align*} Since, $PV^n = $ constant, the compression remains constant. So, \begin{align*} P_1 V_1^n &= P_2 V_2^n \\ n &= \frac{\ln{\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)}} \\ n &= \frac{\ln{\left(\frac{400}{80}\right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{0.1}{0.03}\right)}} \\ n &= \frac{\ln{5}}{\ln{3.\overline{3}}} \\ n &= \frac{\ln{5}}{\ln{3.\overline{3}}} \\ n &= 1.34 \end{align*} \begin{align*} \text{Work Done} &= \frac{P_1 V_1 - P_2 V_2}{n - 1} \\ &= \frac{80 \times 0.1 - 400 \times 0.03}{1.34 - 1} \\ &= - 11.76 J \end{align*} \section*{Question 3} A system of volume $V$ contains a mass $m$ of gas at pressure $p$ and temperature $T$. The macroscopic properties of the system obey the following relationship \[\left(P + \frac{a}{V^2}\right)\left(V - b \right) = mRT\] Where $a$, $b$ and $R$ are constants. Obtain an expression for the displacement work done by the system during a constant temperature expansion from volume $V_1$ to volume $V_2$. Calculate the work done by a system which contains $10 kg$ of this gas expanding from $1m^3$ to $10 m^3$ at a temperature of $293 K$. Use the values $a= 15.7 \times 10 Nm^4$, $b= 1.07 \times 10-2 m^3$ and $R= 0.278 KkJ/kg$. \subsection*{Solution} \[\text{Macroscopic Properties} = \left(P + \frac{a}{V^2}\right)\left(V - b \right) = mRT\] For constant temperature expansion, as $m$, $R$ \& $T$ are constants, we can deduce, \[ mRT = \left(P_1 + \frac{a}{V_1^2}\right)\left(V_1 - b\right) = \left(P_2 + \frac{a}{V_2^2}\right)\left(V_2 - b\right) = k\] \[ \therefore k = mRT = 10 \times 0.278 \times 293 KJ = 814.54 KJ\] We can find out $P_1$ and $P_2$ using the above equation \begin{gather*} \left(P_1 + \frac{a}{V_1^2}\right)\left(V_1 - b\right) = k \\ P_1 + \frac{a}{V_1^2} = \frac{k}{V_1 - b} \\ P_1 = \frac{k}{V_1 - b} - \frac{a}{V_1^2}\\ P_1 = 666.35 KPa \end{gather*} Similarly, $P_2 = 80 KPa$ We know, the equation for work is \begin{align*} W &= \int_{V_1}^{V_2}P dV \\ W &= \int_{V_1}^{V_2}\left(\frac{k}{V -b} - \frac{a}{V^2}\right) dV \\ W &= \left(P_1 + \frac{a}{V_1^2}\right)(V_1 - b) \ln\left(\frac{V_2 - b}{V_1 -b}\right) + a\left(\frac{1}{V_2} - \frac{1}{V_1}\right) \\ \text{Substituting values, we get} \\ W &= 1742 KJ \end{align*} \section*{Question 4} If a gas of volume $6000 cm^3$ and at pressure of $100 kPa$ is compressed quasi-statically according to $pV^2 = constant$ until the volume becomes $2000 cm^3$, determine the final pressure and the work transfer. \subsection*{Solution} \begin{align*} V_1 &= 6000 cm^3 = 0.006 m^3 \\ V_2 &= 2000 cm^3 = 0.002 m^3 \\ P_1 &= 100 KPa \end{align*} We know that \begin{align*} P_1 V_1^2 &= P_2 V_2^2 \\ \therefore P_2 &= 900 KPa \end{align*} \begin{align*} \text{Work Done} = W &= \frac{P_2 V_2 - P_1 V_1}{n - 1} \\ &= \frac{900 \times 0.002 - 100 \times 0.006}{2 - 1} \\ &= 1.2 KJ \end{align*} \section*{Question 5} A mass of $1.5kg$ of air is compressed in a quasi-static process from $0.1 MPa$ to $0.7 MPa$ for which $pv= Constant$. The initial density of air is $1.16 kg/m3$. Find the work done by the piston to compress the air. \subsection*{Solution} \begin{align*} PV &= \text{constant} \\ \therefore P_1 V_1 &= P_2 V_2 \\ 0.1 MPa \times V_1 &= 0.7 MPa \times \frac{d_1}{m_1} \\ 0.1 MPa \times V_1 &= 0.7 MPa \times \frac{1.16 kg/m^3}{1.5 kg} \\ V_1 &= 1.293 m^3 \end{align*} \begin{align*} \text{Work Done} &= \int P dV \\ &= \int_{V_1}^{V_2} \frac{P_1 V_1}{V} dV \\ &= P_1 V_1 \int_{V_1}^{V_2} \frac{dV}{V} \\ &= 251.63 KJ \end{align*} \end{document}
