A bicycle rider is interested in the effects of temperature on air density. A change in temperature will also affect the tire pressure.

a) Write a computer program that calculates air density at atmospheric pressure for temperatures from -10?C to 50?C.

b) Assume that a bicycle tire is inflated to an absolute pressure of 450 kPa at 20?C. Assume also that the volume of the tire does not change with temperature. Write a program to show how the tire pressure changes with the temperature in the same range, -10?C to 50?C.

Prepare a table or graph or both.

the adiabatic flame temperature (theoretical maximum temperature) of black coal in air is over 2000oC. If the ambient temperature is 20oC then the theoretical maximum efficiency of a coal fired power station is approximately 87%.

Why then is the efficiency of even the best coal fired power stations less than 50%.

a. If a 6 cm diameter cylinder containing 2 g of an ideal gas at 25o C is fitted with a 5 kg piston with a 20 kg weight on the piston, calculate the pressure and volume of the ideal gas if the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. If the 20 kg weight is removed, provide detailed comments without further calculations on what would happen. You may assume a molecular weight of 28 for the gas.

b. Calculate the energy required to heat a gas from 30o C to 150o C if the gas flow rate and pressure at the heater outlet are 1.5 m3 /min and 125 kPa absolute respectively. Assume the specific enthalpy change is about 4,000 J/mol for the process.

An organic chemist has discovered a catalyst that reacts 2-propanol (C3H7OH) with water to form ethanol (C2H5OH). 1.23 L of 90% (by mass) 2-propanol mixed with water (10% by mass) is treated with the catalyst. The reaction goes to completion. The specific gravity of the solution is 0.82.
1. What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction?
2.How much 2-propanol is in the solution (in gmol)?

3. What is the limiting reagent?

4. What percent of the non-limiting reagent remains unreacted?
5. How much ethanol (in g) is produced?
6. What does the mass fraction of 2-propanol need to be in order to have a stoichiometric amount of each reactant

Consider the reactor system shown below. The reaction is exothermic so a cooling system is provided to remove the excess energy of the reaction. In the event that the cooling function is lost, the temperature of the reactor would increase. This would lead to an increase in reaction rate, leading to an additional energy release. The result would be a runaway reaction with pressures exceeding the bursting pressure level of the reactor vessel. The temperature within the reactor is measured and is used to control the cooling water flow rate by a valve. Perform a HAZOP study on this unit to improve the safety of the process. Use as a study node the cooling coil (process parameters: flow and temperature) and the stirrer (process parameters: agitation)

4.17 A rigid insulated tank is divided into two parts, one that contains 1 kg of steam at 10 bar, 200 °C, and one that contains 1 kg of steam at 20 bar, 800 °C. The partition that separates the two compartments is removed and the system is allowed to reach equilibrium. What is the entropy generation?

This is the problem in the book Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics 1st edition. In the solution, it says first obtain volume and internal energy at 15.85 bar. Can you tell me how did the answer get 15.85 bar?
