You are pumping up a road bicycle tire with a compressor. The inner tube is initially completely deflated, and you inflate it to a final pressure of 120psig and final volume confined by the tire tread and rim (Vtire= 500mL). The compressor supplies air steadily at 24°C and 190 psig. Assume air is an ideal gas, with CP= (7/2)Rand R= 8.314 J/mol·K.Clearly state all assumptions.Final answers should be appropriately rounded.

a.Define an opensystem.

b.Calculate the work of expansion ofthe inner tube(against the atmosphere).Assume negligibletensile force from the inner tube

.c.Starting with ageneral energy balance, calculate the final temperature inside the tire. Assume thatthe time to inflate the tire is much less than the time for heat dissipation through the tire and rim.

d.For this process, it is possible for the final temperature to be less than the compressor supply temperature? Explain briefly.e.After having inflated the tire,you let the bicycle stand outside, where it is heated under the sun. At what temperature will the tire burst?(The tire is designedfor 180 psig).

1. Consider a simplified one-dimensional laminar flame, such as that discussed in the classroom. The earliest description of a laminar flame is that of Mallard and Le Chatelier in 1883. Assume that:

a. 1-D, constant area, steady flow,

b. kinetic and potential energies, viscous shear work, and thermal

radiation are neglected,

c. pressure is constant,

d. diffusion of heat and mass are governed by Fourier’s and Fick’s laws

and binary diffusion is applied,

e. Lewis number is unity,

f. individual specific heats are all equal and constant,

g. fuel and oxidizer form products in a single-step exothermic reaction,

h. fuel is completely consumed at the flame with oxidizer in

stoichiometric or excess proportion.

By applying suitable boundary conditions, please derive the expressions for laminar flame velocity and flame thickness. (Simplified solution can be found in most of the combustion textbook, such as the one by S.R. Turns(1996) or the one by I. Glassman (1993 or newer edition).)

One way to remove harmful “NOx” (NO and NO2) atmospheric pollutants from flue gas is the “thermal deNOx” process, in which NH3 is used to reduce the NO to N2:

__4__ NO (g) + __1__ O2 (g) + ____ NH3 (g) → ____ N2 (g) + ____ H2O (g)

The research lab has several gas cylinders available for studying this reaction, including one cylinder containing a mixture of 3.0 wt% NO and 15 wt% O2 in an N2 diluent, and a second cylinder containing a mixture of 4.5 wt% anhydrous ammonia in N2 diluent. Assume that all the gases behave ideally.

Balance the thermal deNOx reaction.

You introduce 8.0 g from the NO cylinder and 3.5 g from the NH3 cylinder into an isothermal, constant volume (20 L) batch reactor. What are the initial molar concentrations of NO, NH3, and O2?

What are the initial NO, NH3 and O2 mole fractions?

What is the total initial reactor pressure (in bar) at 250°C? What are the partial pressures (in bar) of NO, NH3, and O2?

What is the limiting reagent and the final partial pressures of NO, NH3, and O2, assuming the reaction goes to completion? Note: the limiting reagent is the reactant that, due to stoichiometry, limits the extent to which the reaction can proceed.

What molar concentrations of NO and NH3 remain when 75% of the limiting reagent is consumed (i.e., 75% conversion)?

A microbial cell may be modeled as a well-mixed reactor in which nutrients (“corn steep liquor”) diffuse into the cell and are converted to products (including penicillin) which diffuse out of the cell. Write unsteady-state material balances on the nutrients (A) and on the products (B) in terms of the rate of consumption of A (rA), the yield of B (YB/A) defined as the mass of B produced per mass of A consumed, a mass-transfer coefficient (kA) for transport of nutrients into the cell, a mass-transfer coefficient (kP) for transport of product out of the cell, the surface area of the cell (A), the volume of the cell (V), the concentrations of nutrients outside and inside the cell (CAo, CA), and the concentrations of products outside and inside the cell (CPo, CP).

Steam at a temperature of 280 DegreeC flows in a steel pipe (k=70 W/m K) having an inner and outer diameter of 5 cm and 5.6 cm. The pipe is covered with glass wool insulation (k=0.05 W/m K) to a thickness of 4 cm. On a windy day heat is lost from the lagging surface with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/m2 K. The surroundings are at a temperature of 5 DegreeC and the internal heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the steam and the steam pipe is 600 W/m2 K.

What are the rate of heat loss from pipe per unit length and the outer surface temperature of the lagging?
