ANSWERS MUST BE NUMBERED IDENTICALLY TO THE QUESTION BEING ANSWERED. 6. THE INTENDED MARK IS INDICATED AT END OF THE QUESTION. 7. AFORMULA SHEET AND UNIT CONVERSION ARE ATTACHED. DO NOT TURN THIS PAGE UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO Page 1 of 8SECTION B Answer the following questions in the answer booklet provided (33 =15 marks): QUESTION 1 For a system to be in thermodynamic equilibrium, the temperature and the pressure have to be the same everywhere, Calculate the temperature of a fluid when both a Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometer is immersed in it, and the numeric reading is identical in both thermometers. QUESTION 12 Why does a bicyclist pick up speed on a downhill road even when he is not pedaling? Does this violate the conservation of energy principle? N13, ‘An inventor proposes an engine that operates between the 27°C warm surface layer of the ocean and 10°C layer a few meters down. The inventor claims thatthe engine produces 100 kW by pumping 20 ka/s of seawater. Is this possible? QUESTION 14 Fatima the latent heat of vapourization of water if at 100°C Ahi 2,257 ka QUESTION 15 Define isothermal, isobaric, and isochoric processes. Page 4 of 8SECTION C Provide detailed calculations and diagrams in answering the following questions: STION 16 (30 Marks} Determine the molar volume of n-butane at $10 K and 25.0 bar using: (@) The ideal gas equation to} (©) The generalized virial coefficient corelation po} QUESTION 17 (25 marlss) A vessel of Volume 2.0 m* contains 100 kilograms of superheated steam at 400°C. (a) Using the steam tables, determine the pressure of the gas, (Instead of interpolating, use the closest value tabulated) (6 (b) Estimate the pressure of the gas based on the ideal gas assumption and caleulate the error of the assumption. fl (2) Estimate the pressure of the gas based on the Redlich-Kwong equation of state and calculate the error of the approximation, 112) QUESTION 18 20 marks) A.50 kg iron block (c, = 0.45 ki/kg°C) and a 20 kg copper block ( at 80°C, are dropped into a large lake at 15°C. Thermal equilibrium is established after a while as a result of heat transfer between the blocks and the lake water. Determine the total entropy change for this process, 0) TOTAL MARKS =100 END OF PAPER Page 5 of 8
