Finding Work and Heat Transfer
Not what you're looking for?
Air initially at 100 psia, 500 F undergoes an internally reversible process to 45 psia. For each of the following cases, determine for 10 lbm of air the heat transfer and work, each in Btu, and show the processes on P-v and T-s coordinates.
The process is:
a) Isothermal
b) Adiabatic (Hint: look at other assumptions above)
c) Constant volume

Problem:
Air initially at 100 psia, 500 F undergoes an internally reversible process to 45 psia. For each of the following cases, determine for 10 lbm of air the heat transfer and work, each in Btu, and show the processes on P-v and T-s coordinates.
The process is:
a) Isothermal
b) Adiabatic (Hint: look at other assumptions above)
c) Constant volume
Solution:
a) The thermodynamic cycle is like in diagram of below:
We will convert everything first to SI and finally, we will give the results in British units as well.
Given: p1 = 100 psia = 6.89 bar
T1 = 500F = 513.5 K
P2 = 45 psia = 3.1 bar
M = 10 lbm = ...
