Thermodynamic

1. A. System is a condition that become the central of our concentration. B. adiabatic processes is the gas expansion or compression processes which there is no thermal energy transfer by heat or thermally insulating the system from its surroundings or by performing the process rapidly, so that there is little time for energy to transfer by heat C. 1st Law of thermodinamic is a generalization of the law of conservation of energy that encompasses changes in internal energy. 2. A system receives 600 joule of heat and do the work 200 J to the surrounding, what the change of internal energy of system? Known: Q = 600 J W= -200 J Ask: U = ? Answer: U=Q+W = 600 J 200 J = 400 J 3. Gas in a container is at a pressure of 1.50 atm and a volume of 4.00 m 3. What is the work done by the gas

Given: P = 1.50 atm = 1.545 105 Pa Vi = 4.00 m3 Find: a. W = ? (Vf = 8.00 m3) b. W = ? (Vf = 1.00 m3)

Thermodynamic

Answer: a. W = -P (Vf Vi) = - 1.545 105 Pa (8.00 m3 4.00 m3) = - 6.18 105 J This means that system work to the surrounding. b. W = -P (Vf Vi) = - 1.545 105 Pa (1.00 m3 4.00 m3) = 4.635 105 J This means that the surrounding work on the system. 4. A gas is compressed from 9.00 L to 2.00 L at a constant pressure of 50 kPa.

Change of internal energy In isothermal processes, the temperature of system is constant so the change of internal energy is zero. 6. (a) Determine the work done by a fluid that expands from i to f as indicated in figure below (b) How much work is performed by the fluid if it is compressed from f to i along the same path?

Thermodynamic

Given:

Find: a. W (i to f) =? b. W (f to i) =? Answer: a. Work done by fluid from i to f (expanding) Because the gas done the work to the surrounding so the value of work is negative W = - the area under the path = 1st process + 2nd process + 3rd process =- (6 106 J ) - ( 4 106 J ) - (2 106 J ) = - 12 106 J b. Work done by fluid from f to i (compressing) Because the work is done on the system (gas) so the value of work is positif W = the area under the path = 1st process + 2nd process + 3rd process = (6 106 J ) + ( 4 106 J ) + (2 106 J ) = 12 106 J
