The temperature of the atmosphere varies with altitude. In the troposphere, which extends to an altitude of 11 km, for example, temperature variation can be approximated by T = T_0 beta z, where T_0 is the temperature at sea level, which can be taken to be 288.15 K, beta = 0.0065 K/m and z is the vertical height (in meters) above sea-level. The variation of pressure with altitude in a fluid can be shown to follow the differential equation: dp/dz = p rho g - Thermodynamics Obtain a relation for the variation of pressure, p, with vertical height, z, in the troposphere: a) by ignoring the variation of the temperature, b) by taking into account the variation of temperature with height. c) An airplane is flying at 9 km above sea level. What is the temperature at this height? Use the expression you found in part (b) to determine the atmospheric pressure and air density at this altitude. Compare these with values you get by using the expression you found in (a). In solving the differential equation you may find this helpful: p = rho R_g T, where R_g is the gas constant, and here it is 287 J/kg. K for air

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
