Examples At 150 F the vapor pressure of methane is 363.20 psia and the saturated specific internal energies are uf= 100.36 Btu/lbm and ug= 210.94 Btu/lbm. Determine the quality of methane at T= 150 F and u= 200 Btu/lbm. 1. 2. Determine the change in the specific internal energy and specific enthalpy of glycerin as its temperature changes from 490 R, 14.7 psia to 520 R, 1000 psia. The density of the glycerin can be assumed to be constant at 79.3 lbm/ft3. 3. Carbon dioxide gas undergoes a process where its state changes from 20 kPa, 350 K to 1000 kPa, 400K. Calculate the change in the specific enthalpy between these two states. Assume that the ideal gas law is valid, but the heat capacities vary with temperature according to Table C.14b. 1

2. Determine the change in the specific internal energy and specific enthalpy of glycerin as its temperature changes from 490 R, 14.7 psia to 520 R, 1000 psia. From Table 3.5 in the textbook you find that cglycerin = 0.576 Btu/lbm-R. The density of the glycerin can be assumed to be constant at 79.3 lbm/ft3. Assumption: The glycerin is incompressible.

3. Carbon dioxide gas undergoes a process where its state changes from 20 kPa, 350 K to 1000 kPa, 400K. Calculate the change in the specific enthalpy between these two states. Assume that the ideal gas law is valid, but the heat capacities vary with temperature according to Table C.14b. Do the simple case first. What if specific heat doesn t change with temperature? Table C.13b shows ?? for CO2 is 0.845 kJ/kg-K 2 1= ?? (?2 ?1) ?? = 0.845 50[?] ?? ? ?? ?? = 42.25 4
