Nitrogen at 100 psia and 300°F in a rigid container is cooled until its pressure is 10 psia. Determine the work done and the heat transferred during this process, in Btu/lbm. Take cv = 0.177 Btu/lbm·R at room temperature, for nitrogen.

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, we will determine the final temperature as follows.

                       =

                       = 76 R

As the container is rigid, so no work is done. Therefore, heat loss is determined from the change in internal energies that will be obtained from table A-18E for the given temperatures.

                            =

                            = Btu/lbm

                            = 67.5 Btu/lbm

Therefore, we can conclude that work done is zero and heat transferred during this process, in Btu/lbm is 67.5 Btu/lbm.

what question you dont ask a question

explanation:

the old price per ounce is c/4.

the new price per ounce is c/3.6.

the ratio of the old price to the new one is

(c/4)/(c/3.6) = (c/c)×(3.6/4) = 0.9 . . = 9/10 . . "nine tenths" in either form
