Although balloons have been around since 1783 when the first balloon took to the skies in France, a real breakthrough in ballooning occurred in 1960 with the design of the modern hot-air balloon fueled by inexpensive propane and constructed of lightweight nylon fabric. Over the years, ballooning has become a sport and a hobby for many people around the world. Unlike balloons filled with the light helium gas, hot-air balloons are open to the atmosphere. Therefore, the pressure in the balloon is always the same as the local atmospheric pressure, and the balloon is never in danger of exploding. Hot-air balloons range from about 15 to \(25 \mathrm{~m}\) in diameter. The air in the balloon cavity is heated by a propane burner located at the top of the passenger cage. The flames from the burner that shoot into the balloon heat the air in the balloon cavity, raising the air temperature at the top of the balloon from \(65^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to over \(120^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The air temperature is maintained at the desired levels by periodically firing the propane burner. The buoyancy force that pushes the balloon upward is proportional to the density of the cooler air outside the balloon and the volume of the balloon, and can be expressed as \(F_{B}=\rho_{\text {cool air }} g V_{\text {balloon }}\) where \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration. When air resistance is negligible, the buoyancy force is opposed by (1) the weight of the hot air in the balloon, (2) the weight of the cage, the ropes, and the balloon material, and (3) the weight of the people and other load in the cage. The operator of the balloon can control the height and the vertical motion of the balloon by firing the burner or by letting some hot air in the balloon escape, to be replaced by cooler air. The forward motion of the balloon is provided by the winds. Consider a 20-m-diameter hot-air balloon that, together with its cage, has a mass of \(80 \mathrm{~kg}\) when empty. This balloon is hanging still in the air at a location where the atmospheric pressure and temperature are \(90 \mathrm{kPa}\) and \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), respectively, while carrying three \(65-\mathrm{kg}\) people. Determine the average temperature of the air in the balloon. What would your response be if the atmospheric air temperature were \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?

Although balloons have been around since 1783 when the first balloon took to the skies in France, a real breakthrough in ballooning occurred in 1960 with the design of the modern hot-air balloon fueled by inexpensive propane and constructed of lightweight nylon fabric. Over the years, ballooning has become a sport and a hobby for many people around the world. Unlike balloons filled with the light helium gas, hot-air balloons are open to the atmosphere. Therefore, the pressure in the balloon is always the same as the local atmospheric pressure, and the balloon is never in danger of exploding. Hot-air balloons range from about 15 to 25 m in diameter. The air in the balloon cavity is heated by a propane burner located at the top of the passenger cage. The flames from the burner that shoot into the balloon heat the air in the balloon cavity, raising the air temperature at the top of the balloon from 658C to over 1208C. The air temperature is maintained at the desired levels by periodically firing the propane burner. The buoyancy force that pushes the balloon upward is proportional to the density of the cooler air outside the balloon and the volume of the balloon, and can be expressed as FB 5 rcool air gVballoon where g is the gravitational acceleration. When air resistance is negligible, the buoyancy force is opposed by (1) the weight of the hot air in the balloon, (2) the weight of the cage, the ropes, and the balloon material, and (3) the weight of the people and other load in the cage. The operator of the balloon can control the height and the vertical motion of the balloon by firing the burner or by letting some hot air in the balloon escape, to be replaced by cooler air. The forward motion of the balloon is provided by the winds. Consider a 20-m-diameter hot-air balloon that, together with its cage, has a mass of 80 kg when empty. This balloon is hanging still in the air at a location where the atmospheric pressure and temperature are 90 kPa and 158C, respectively, while carrying three 65-kg people.

Determine the average temperature of the air in the balloon when the balloon first starts rising. What would your response be if the atmospheric air temperature were 258C?

In an article on tire maintenance, it is stated that tires lose air over time, and pressure losses as high as 90 kPa (13 psi) per year are measured.

Taking the beginning tire pressure to be 220 kPa (gage) and the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa, determine the fraction of air that can be lost from a tire per year.

It is well known that water freezes at 08C at atmospheric pressure. The mixture of liquid water and ice at 08C is said to be at stable equilibrium since it cannot undergo any changes when it is isolated from its surroundings. However, when water is free of impurities and the inner surfaces of the container are smooth, the temperature of water can be lowered to 228C or even lower without any formation of ice at atmospheric pressure. But at that state even a small disturbance can initiate the formation of ice abruptly, and the water temperature stabilizes at 08C following this sudden change. The water at 228C is said to be in a metastable state. Write an essay on metastable states and discuss how they differ from stable equilibrium states.
