ASSIGNMENT 2
Non Flow Processes
1. Define specific heat at constant pressure and specific heat at constant volume and
prove that their difference gives the value of gas constant.
3. 0.45 Kg of air at 450K expands isentropically to 3 times of its original volume and
temperature falls to 290 K. If 50KJ of work is done by air during the expansion process,
evaluate the adiabatic exponent, gas constant and specific heats at constant pressure and
volume.
5. 1 Kg of air is expanded slowly in a piston cylinder arrangement from 6 bar and 0.015
m³. During the process, heat is exchanged with the surroundings at a rate sufficient to
make the process isothermal. Make calculations for final pressure, work done, change in
internal energy and heat interaction.
6. Air initially at 300kpa pressure and 0.02 m³ volume expands according to the law
PV=C till the pressure reduces to 150kpa. Subsequently it is compressed at constant
pressure to its original volume of 0.02 m³. Sketch the process on PV diagram and make
calculations for work interaction per unit mass of air
