Consider the following problem: Gaseous helium (assumed ideal) filled in a horizontal cylindrical vessel is separated from its surroundings by a massless piston. Both piston and cylinder are thermally insulating. The ambient pressure is suddenly tripled without changing the ambient temperature...

What is wrong with this logic, if any? It does not seem like this should be true but maybe I'm mistaken. Assuming the process consists of two isobaric processes and two isothermal processes the work from B to C in terms of p1, p2, V1, and V2 is given by the following. 1) WBC=p2(VC-VB) 2)...

Homework Statement [/B] This is a very basic question. I have a cylinder filled with air having stops at a particular height . First part of the process is isobaric as piston is free to move and P is constant. When piston reaches stops this becomes isochoric process as volume is constant. So...

Homework Statement This is probably a real easy task for most, but I simply CANNOT manage to calculate it, even given the correct answer. I will translate it as best I can and hope I don't phrase it in a way that causes misunderstandings: 12 Moles of an ideal gas go through an Isobaric...

Homework Statement A gas bottle contains exactly 158 moles of carbon dioxide CO2. Find the change in the internal energy of this much CO2 when it is cooled from 36C down to exactly 25C at a constant pressure of 1 atm. The gas can be treated as an ideal gas with γ=1.289. The gas constant reads...

Homework Statement [/B] You are asked to calculate changes in internal energy, entropy, heat transferred and work done for each of the following process. Also you are asked to calculate "the latent heat for the isotherm in the figure". We know the a and b parameters which characterize the VdW...

We have an ideal gas enclosed in cylinder whose top is covered by a piston of certain weight ##mg##. At this stage, the piston is at rest which means the force by which the gas acts on the piston (##F=PA## where ## P## is the gas pressure and ##A## is the cross sectional area of the cylinder) is...

Homework Statement How much work is done on the gas in the process shown in figure P12.24. This is from College Physics: A strategic approach, 2nd addition, by Knight, et al. Ch.12, #24 The graph shown is kPa vs V(cm^3). It's a constant temperature process (isobaric) at 200 kpa. I was able to...

In an isobaric process of 1 mole of a monatomic ideal gas, the pressure stays the same while the volume and temperature change. Let's take an isobaric expansion where the volume increases by 2m3 and the pressure stays at 5kPa. If the work done by the gas is the pressure times the change in...

Hey, during last lecture of thermodynamics we did polytropic processes, and with no discuss teacher said, that isobaric process is in general polytropic. If we had ideal gas, then it is clear, bud what if the gas isn't ideal? I tried to proof it, but I stuck and don't know how to continue...

Hi there, I'm having a great deal of trouble with this thermodynamics question. Cylinder filled with steam at 350 kN/m2. Initial volume is 0.05 m3. Sufficient heat transfer is effected to raise the internal energy in each cylinder by 50 kJ. The piston is moved slowly to maintain the...

Hi! I have this experiment, that keeps getting me frustrated. The experiment is simple: We have hot water and a long plastic tube with one end closed. We simply measure how much water is in the tube and from that we get the water volume (water is in cylinder shape). But there is something I...

Hello All, I am interpreting a diagram from the following question. (I didnt have a chance to take thermo and I learned it by myself so I might have some problems) http://www.physicsgrad.com/pgre/9677-15 I understand that I can just do ΔW and I get the right answer, but upon doing it...

hi ... These days i am trying to make sense of the various processes of thermodynamics and so far i have tried the isothermal process , and isochoric process (which is quite simple i think). Now i am trying to describe what i have understood by the isobaric process: According to the basic...

I know this question has been done to death and I have had a look through past questions on this forum and others but I can't find anything that is helpful to this particular question! Homework Statement An ideal monatomic gas expands reversibly at a fixed pressure of 10^5 Pa from a...

Can anyone help me with understanding what is going on at page 11 of these notes? http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/coursenotes/CHM223/Section%205B%20Fall%202010.pdf Do you get why there is 2 delta Gs? I am really confused with what he was trying to do there? ΔG(37oC) – ΔG(25oC) ≈ – (T – 298)...
