-An initially empty canister with volume of 0.2m3 f filled with carbon dioxide from a line at 1000 kPa, 500K. Assume the process is adiabatic and the flow continues until it stops by itself. Use constant heat capacity to find the final mass and temperature of the carbon dioxide in the canister and the total entropy generation by the process.

) The air in a room with volume 210m3 contains 0.2% carbon dioxide by volume initially. Fresher air with only 0.1% carbon dioxide flows into the room at the rate of 3m3/min and the mixed air flows out at the same rate. Find the percentage of carbon dioxide in the room as a function of time. What is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the room at the end of 30 minutes? What happens in the long run(that is what...

A rigid, insulated, empty vessel is to be filled with steam from a steam line at 7 bar and 320°C. Steam flows into the vessel until the pressure in the vessel is 7 bar. At this instant the valve on the charging line is closed. (a)  What is the temperature of the steam in the vessel at the instant the valve is closed? (b)  What is the final pressure of the steam in the vessel after it has reached mutual stable equilibrium...

VOLUME TECHNIQUE: This method is based on the volume of carbon dioxide produced and collected. MASS TECHNIQUE: This method is based on the difference in mass before and after the reaction. The mass of carbon dioxide calculated using the volume technique will not be identical to the mass of the carbon dioxide calculated using the mass technique. In this discussion, compare and contrast the two techniques and the mass of carbon dioxide obtained by each technique. Also discuss reasons for...

An insulated, rigid vessel is initially empty (evacuated). However, it is connected to a steam line that is maintained at 200 psia and 745 ∘ ∘ F. The valve is opened until the flow into the tank slows and stops (which occurs when the pressure in the tank is equal to the pressure in the steam line), at which point the valve is closed. What is the temperature within the vessel?

A system consists of 2 kg of carbon dioxide gas initially at state 1, where p1 = 1 bar, T1 = 300 K. The system undergoes a power cycle consisting of the following processes: Process 1–2: Constant volume to p2 = 2 bar. Process 2–3: Expansion with pv1.4 = constant. Process 3–1: Constant-pressure compression. Assuming the ideal gas model and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, calculate thermal efficiency.
