Work Done by the Lungs. The graph in Fig. E19.4 shows a pVdiagram of the air in a human lung when a person is inhaling and then exhaling a deep breath. Such graphs, obtained in clinical practice, are normally somewhat curved, but we have modeled one as a set of straight lines of the same general shape. (Important: The pressure shown is the gauge pressure, not the absolute pressure.) (a) How many joules of net work does this persons lung do during one complete breath? (b) The process illustrated here is somewhat different from those we have been studying, because the pressure change is due to changes in the amount of gas in the lung, not to temperature changes. (Think of your own breathing. Your lungs do not expand because theyve gotten hot.) If the temperature of the air in the lung remains a reasonable 20C, what is the maximum number of moles in this persons lung during a breath?

Engine Turbochargers and Intercoolers. The power output of an automobile engine is directly proportional to the mass of air that can be forced into the volume of the engine's cylinders to react chemically with gasoline. Many cars have a turbocharger, which compresses the air before it enters the engine, giving a greater mass of air per volume. This rapid, essentially adiabatic compression also heats the air. To compress it further, the air then passes through an intercooler in which the air exchanges heat with its surroundings at essentially constant pressure. The air is then drawn into the cylinders. In a typical installation, air is taken into the turbocharger at atmospheric pressure \(\left(1.01\times10^5\mathrm{\ Pa}\right)\), density \(\rho=1.23\mathrm{\ kg}/\mathrm{m}^3\) and temperature \(15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). It is compressed adiabatically to \(1.45\times10^5\mathrm{\ Pa}\). In the intercooler, the air is cooled to the original temperature of \(15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) at a constant pressure of \(1.45\times10^5\mathrm{\ Pa}\). (a) Draw a pV-diagram for this sequence of processes. (b) If the volume of one of the engine’s cylinders is \(575\mathrm{\ cm}^3\), what mass of air exiting from the intercooler will fill the cylinder at \(1.45\times10^5\mathrm{\ Pa}\)?

CP Oscillations of a Piston. A vertical cylinder of radius contains a quantity of ideal gas and is fitted with a piston with mass that is free to move (Fig. ). The piston and the walls of the cylinder are frictionless, and the entire cylinder is placed in a constant-temperature bath. The outside air pressure is \(p_{0}\). In equilibrium, the piston sits at a height above the bottom of the cylinder. (a) Find the absolute pressure of the gas trapped below the piston when in equilibrium. (b) The piston is pulled up by a small distance and released. Find the net force acting on the piston when its base is a distance \(h+y\) above the bottom of the cylinder, where is much less than . (c) After the piston is displaced from equilibrium and released, it oscillates up and down. Find the frequency of these small oscillations. If the displacement is not small, are the oscillations simple harmonic? How can you tell? Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: p_0 h+y p_0

Problem 56P CP A Thermodynamic Process in a Solid. A cube of copper 2.00 cm on a side is suspended by a string. (The physical properties of copper are given in Tables 14.1, 17.2, and 17.3.) The cube is heated with a burner from 20.0o C to 90.0o C. The air surrounding the cube is at atmospheric pressure (1.01 X 105 Pa). Find (a) the increase in volume of the cube; (b) the mechanical work done by the cube to expand against the pressure of the sur-rounding air; (c) the amount of heat added to the cube; (d) the change in internal energy of the cube. (e) Based on your results, explain whether there is any substantial difference between the specific heats cp (at constant pressure) and cV (at constant volume) for copper under these conditions.

BIO A Thermodynamic Process in an Insect. The African bombardier beetle (Stenaptinus insignis) can emit a jet of defensive spray from the movable tip of its abdomen (Fig. P19.57). The beetle’s body has reservoirs of two different chemicals; when the beetle is disturbed, these chemicals are combined in a reaction chamber, producing a compound that is warmed \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) from to by the heat of reaction. The high pressure produced allows the compound to be sprayed out at speeds up to \(19 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) \((68 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h})\), scaring away predators of all kinds. (The beetle shown in the figure is 2 cm long.) Calculate the heat of reaction of the two chemicals (in \(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg}\)). Assume that the specific heat of the two chemicals and the spray is the same as that of water, \(4.19 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\), and that the initial temperature of the chemicals is \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Problem 62P Engine Turbochargers and Intercoolers. The power output of an automobile engine is directly proportional to the mass of air that can be forced into the volume of the engine’s cylinders to react chemically with gasoline. Many cars have a turbocharger which compresses the air before it enters the engine, giving a greater mass of air per volume. This rapid, essentially adiabatic compression also heats the air. To compress it further, the air then passes through an intercooler in which the air exchanges heat with its surroundings at essentially constant pressure. The air is then drawn into the cylinders. In a typical installation, air is taken into In a typical installation, air is taken into the turbocharger at atmospheric pressure (1.01 × 105 Pa), density ? = 1.23 kg/m3, and temperature 15.0°C. It is compressed adiabatically to 1.45 × 105 Pa. In the intercooler, the air is cooled to the original temperature of 15.0°C at a constant pressure of 1.45 × 105 Pa. (a) Draw a pV-diagram for this sequence of processes. (b) If the volume of one of the engine’s cylinders is 575 cm3, what mass of air exiling from the intercooler will fill the cylinder at 1.45 × 105 Pa? Compared to the power ouput of an engine that takes in air at 1.01 ×105 pa at 15.0°C what percentage increase in power is obtained by using the turbocharger and intercooler? (c) If the intercooier is not used, what mass of air exiting from the turbocharger will fill the cylinder at 1.45 × 105 Pa? Compared to the power output of an engine that takes in air at 1.01 × 105 Pa at 15.0°C, what percentage increase in power is obtained by using the turbocharger alone?
