Worked Examples of Heat And Thermodynamics


Question-1.Let A & B are two sample of ideal gases of equal mole .let T be the temperature of both the gas Let EA and EB are there total energy respectively .Let MA and MB are these respective molecular mass .which of these is true
a,EA > EB
b,EA < EB
c,EA =EB
d,none of these

Solution:1
EA = 3/2 nRT
EB = 3/2 nRT
;EA =EB


Question-2. The velocities of the molecules are v, 2v, 3v, 4v & 5v. The rms speed will be
a,11v
b,v(11)1/2
c, v
d, 3.3v

Solution:2
Vrms= (∑ V2 / N)1/2
= [(V2 + 4V2 + 9V2 + 16V2 + 25V2)/5]1/2
=v(11)1/2


Question-3. What is true of Isothermal Process
a, ΔT >0
b, ΔU=0
c ΔQ=ΔW
d PV=constants

Solution-3:

In an Isothermal Process
Temperature remains constant ΔT =0
Since Internal energy depends on the temperature
ΔU=0

From first law of Thermodynamics
ΔU=ΔQ-ΔW
Since ΔU=0
ΔQ=ΔW

Also PV=nRT
As T is constant
PV= constant



Question-.4 Two absolute scales A and B have triple points of water defined as 200A and 350A. what is the relation between TA and TB



Solution-4

Given that on absolute scale
Triple point of water on scale A = 200 A
Triple point of water on scale B = 350 B
Also, triple point of water on Kelvin scale = 273.16 K
Now temperature on scale A and on scale B is equivalent to 273.16 K on absolute temperature scale.
Thus, value of one degree on absolute scale A = (273.16/200) K
Or,
Value of temperature TA on absolute scale A = (273.16XTA)/200
Similarly value of temperature TB on absolute scale B = (273.16XTB)/350
Since TA and TB represent the same temperature
273.16×TA/200 = 273.16×TB/350
Or, TA = 200TB/350 = 4TB/ 7

Question 5:A gas is contained in a cylinder with a moveable piston on which a heavy block is placed. Suppose the region outside the chamber is evacuated and the total mass of the block and the movable piston is 102 kg. When 2140 J of heat flows into the gas, the internal energy of the gas increases by 1580 J. What is the distance s through which the piston rises?

Solution:5

Total heat supplied =Workdone + Change in internal energy

So work done=2140-1580=560 J

Let s be the distance moved then
the workdone is given by =Fs
Fs=560
s=560/F
=560/102*10
s=.54 m


Question 6:
The surface of a body has a emissivity of .55 and area of 1.5 m2
Find out the following
a. What rate of heat is radiated from the body if the temperature is 50°C
b. At what rate is radiation absorbed by the radiater when the surrounding temperature is 22°C
c What is the net rate of radiation from the body
Given σ=5.67 *10-8

Solutions 6
a) Rate of radiation radiated=eσATb4=(.55)(5.67 *10-8)(1.5)(323)4=509W
b) Rate of radiation absorbed=eσATs4=(.55)(5.67 *10-8)(1.5)(295)4=354W
c)Net =Rate of radiation radiated-Rate of radiation absorbed=155 W

Question-7: At 27°C,two moles of an ideal monoatomic gas occupy a volume V.The gas is adiabatically expanded to a volume 2V.
Calculate the ratio of final pressure to the intial pressure
Calculate the final temperature
Change in internal energy
Calculate the molar specific heat capacity of the process

Solution-7
Given
n=2 T=27°C=300 K ,V1=V,V2=2V

Now PVy=constant
P1V1y=P2V2y
P2/P2=(V1/V2)y
=.55/3

ALso
T1V1y-1=T2V2y-1
or T2=300/25/3=189K

Change in internal energy=nCvΔT
For monoatomic gas Cv=3R/2
Substituting all the values
Change in internal energy==-2764J

As in adiabatic process ΔQ=0,molar specific heat capacity=0


Question-8
An ideal gas heat engine operates in Carnot cycle between 227°C and 127°C.It absorbs 6*102 cal of heat at the higher temperature.Calculate the amount of heat supplied to the engine from the source in each cycle

Solutions-8:
T1=227°C =500K
T2=127°C =400K

Efficiency of the carnot cycle is given by
=1-(T2/T1)=1/5

Now also efficency =Heat supplied from source/Heat absorbed at high temperature
so Heat supplied from source=6*102*(1/5)==1.2*102cal



Question-9:
An ideal gas A is there.Intial temperature is 27°C.The temperature of the gas is increased to 927°C.Find the ratio of final Vrms to the initial Vrms

Solution-9:

Vrms=√3RT/M

So it is proportional to Temperature
Now
T1=27°C =300K
T2=927°C =1200K

So intial Vrms=k√300
Final Vrms=k√1200

ratio of final to intial=2:1

Question-10:
A circular hole of diameter 2.00 cm is made in an aluminium plate at 0 ° C .what will be the diameter at 100° C?
α for aluminium = 2.3 * 10-3 / ° C

Solutions-10. Diameter of circular hole in aluminium plate at 0° C=2.0 cm
With increase in temperature from 0° C to 100° C diameter of ring increases using

L=L0(1+αΔT)

where L0=2.0 cm
α = .3 * 10-3 / ° C
ΔT=(100 -0)=100 ° C
we can find diameter at 100° C
L=2(1+2.3*10-5*100° C)
      =2.0046 cm
