In a constant pressure, nonflow process, 6Btus of heat are added to a gas while the volumes change from 1.6ft^3 to 2.0ft^3. If the temperature decreases by 10*F and the system contains 2 lbm of gas, find the pressure in the system. (Cv=.2Btu/lbm*F) 1Btu=778 ft-lbm
Problem:
By adding a heat quantity of 6 BTUs to a non-flowing gas at constant pressure, its volume increases from 1.6 cubic feets to 2 cubic feets and the temperature decreases by 10 degrees Fahrenheit. If mass of gas is 2 lbm and Cv = 0.2 BTU/lb.deg.F, find the pressure. (1 BTU = 778 ft.lb)
Solution:
We will apply the first principle of ...
Solution Summary
The solution provides detailed explanations and step-by-step calculations for finding the pressure in a constant pressure system.

Thermodynamic of cyclic process of an ideal gas
An ideal gas described by T(initial)=300K,P(initial)=1 bar and V(i)=10 L is heated at constant volume until P=10 bar.It then undergoes a reversible isothermal expansion until P=1bar.It is then restored to its original state by the extraction of heat at constant pressure. Calculate w for each step.
