Chapter 19 Problem 61P

Question

An air pump has a cylinder 0.250 m long with a movable piston. The pump is used to compress air from the atmosphere (at absolute pressure 1.01 X 105 Pa) into a very large tank at 3.80 X 105 Pa gauge pressure. (For air, CV = 20.8 J / mol ? K.) (a) The piston begins the compression stroke at the open end of the cylinder. How far down the length of the cylinder has the piston moved when air first begins to flow from the cylinder into the tank? Assume that the compression is adiabatic. (b) If the air is taken into the pump at 27.0o C, what is the temperature of the compressed air? (c) How much work does the pump do in putting 20.0 mol of air into the tank?

Solution

Solution to 61P Step 1 Length of air pump=0.250m 5 Initial Pressure =1.01x10 Pa Final Pressure =3.8x10 Pa 5 C v20.8 J / mol K 0 Initial temperature=27 C=300.15K
