Two cylinders of oxygen are connected to each other by a valve. The first tank is 50 liters in volume and contains oxygen at 27 °C and a pressure of 140.37 kPa, and the corresponding values for the other tank are 30 liters, 89 °C and 62.73 kPa. If the valve connecting the tanks is opened and the tanks are allowed to reach some equilibrium condition with the temperature being 50 °C. Answer the following: (a) the equilibrium pressure, (b) the heat transfer between both tanks and the surroundings and the direction of the heat transfer, and (c) the internal energy in the final state if the tanks were insulated.

An insulated, rigid tank whose volume is 0.5 m3 is connected by a valve to a large vessel holding steam at 40 bar, 480°C. The tank is initially evacuated. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with steam to a pressure of 20 bar. Determine: (a) the final temperature of the steam in the tank, in °C, the final mass of the steam in the tank, in kg, and (b) the amount of entropy...

Two continuous stirred-tank fermenters are connected in series, the first having an operational volume of 100 L and that of the second being 50 L. The feed to the first fermenter is sterile and contains 5000 mg/L of substrate, being delivered to the fermenter at 18 L/h. If the microbial growth can be described by the Monod kinetic model with µm= 0.25 h-1 and Ks = 120 mg/l. What would happen if the flow were from the 50 L fermenter...

Rigid tank A and tank B (containing water) are connected to a piston cylinder with two valves as shown below. The piston cylinder assembly is initially (state 1) empty when the valves are closed. The pressure required to float the piston is 800kPa, the piston is constantly loaded and is free to move. Now the valves are opened and the fluid reaches a uniform state at 250C within the system (state 2). Determine: (a) The final volume (5 points) (b)...

Consider that you have two blocks and they are connected to each other with a spring. Block AA has mass 1.00 kgkg, and block BB has mass 3.00 kgkg. The blocks are compressed with a spring SS between them; then the system is released from rest on a level, frictionless surface. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block and drops to the surface after it has expanded. The spring has force constant 720 N/mN/m and is...
