Tutorial Chapter 1

Students are advised to solve these questions before tutorial class started. Better
understanding comes when you try to think and learn from mistakes. Build your effort and
never wait for the answers. Note: Use the values in the given table if they are necessary.

1) A mixture of carbon monoxide and oxygen is to be prepared in the proportion of 7 kg to 4


kg in a vessel of 0.3 m3 capacity. If the temperature of the mixture is 15 oC, determine the
pressure to which the vessel is subject. If the temperature is raised to 40 oC, what will
then be the pressure in the vessel?
[29.94 bar; 32.54 bar]

2) For the mixture of problem (1) calculate the volumetric analysis, the molar mass and the
characteristic gas constant. Calculate also the total amount of substance in the mixture.
[33.3% O2; 66.7% CO; 29.3 kg/kmol; 0.283kJ/kg K; 0.375 kmol ]

3) In a mixture of methane (CH4) and air there are three volumes of oxygen to one volume
of methane. From initial conditions of 1 bar and 95 oC the gas is compressed reversibly
and adiabatically through a volume ratio of 5. Assuming that air contains only oxygen
and nitrogen, calculate:
i) the value of cp, cv, c̃ p, c̃ v R and γ for the mixture;
ii) the final pressure and temperature of the mixture;
iii) the work input per unit mass of mixture.
[1.057 kJ/kg K, 0.761 kJ/kg K, 29.60 kJ/kmol K, 21.31 kJ/kmol K, 0.297 kJ/kg K, 1.389;
9.35 bar, 415.3 oC; 243.8 kJ/kg]

4) Two vessels are connected by a pipe in which there is a valve. One vessel of 0.3 m 3
contains air at 7 bar and 32 oC, and the other of 0.03 m 3 contains oxygen at 21 bar and 15
o
C. The valve is opened and the two gases are allowed to mix. Assuming that the system
is well lagged, calculate:
i) the final temperature of the mixture;
ii) the final pressure of the mixture;
iii) the partial pressure of each constituent;
iv) the volumetric analysis of the mixture;
v) the values of cp, cv, R, m̃ and γ for the mixture;
vi) the increase of entropy of the system per kilogram of mixture;
vii) the change in internal energy and enthalpy of the mixture per kilogram if the vessel is
cooled to 10 oC.
Assume that air consists only of oxygen and nitrogen.
[27.9 oC; 8.27 bar; 3.31, 4.96 bar; 60% N2, 40% O2; 0.987, 0.709 kJ/kg K; 0.287kJ/kg
K; 29.91 kg/mol; 1.392; 0.183 kJ/kg K; 12.69, 17.67 kJ/kg]

5) A vessel of 0.3 m3 capacity contains a mixture of air and steam which is 0.75 dry. If the
pressure is 7 bar and the temperature is 116.9 oC, calculate the mass of water present, the
mass of dry saturated vapour, and the mass of air.

[0.102 kg; 0.307 kg; 1.394 kg]

6) A closed vessel of volume 3 m3 contains air saturated with water vapour at 38 oC and a
vacuum pressure of 660 mm of mercury. The vacuum falls to 560 mm of mercury and the
temperature falls to 26.7 oC. Calculate the mass of air that has leaked in and the quantity
of vapour that has condensed. Take the barometric pressure as 760 mm Hg.
[0.583 kg; 0.0627 kg]
