An ideal-gas mixture consists of 60 percent helium and 40 percent argon gases by mass. The mixture is now expanded isentropically in a turbine from 4008C and 1.2 MPa to a pressure of 200 kPa. The mixture temperature at turbine exit is (a) 568C (b) 1958C (c) 1308C (d ) 1128C (e) 4008C

One compartment of an insulated rigid tank contains 2 kmol of CO2 at 208C and 150 kPa while the other compartment contains 5 kmol of H2 gas at 358C and 300 kPa. Now the partition between the two gases is removed, and the two gases form a homogeneous ideal-gas mixture. The temperature of the mixture is (a) 258C (b) 298C (c) 228C (d ) 328C (e) 348C

A pistoncylinder device contains an ideal-gas mixture of 3 kmol of He gas and 7 kmol of Ar gas at 508C and 400 kPa. Now the gas expands at constant pressure until its volume doubles. The amount of heat transfer to the gas mixture is (a) 6.2 MJ (b) 4.2 MJ (c) 27 MJ (d) 10 MJ (e) 67 MJ

An ideal-gas mixture of helium and argon gases with identical mass fractions enters a turbine at 1500 K and 1 MPa at a rate of 0.12 kg/s, and expands isentropically to 100 kPa. The power output of the turbine is (a) 253 kW (b) 310 kW (c) 341 kW (d) 463 kW (e) 550 kW

The simple additive rule may not be appropriate for the volume of binary mixtures of gases, Prove this for a pair of gases of your choice at several different temperatures and pressures using Kays rule and the principle of corresponding states.

You have a rigid tank equipped with a pressure gauge. Describe a procedure by which you could use this tank to blend ideal gases in prescribed mole-fraction portions.

Prolonged exposure to mercury even at relatively low but toxic concentrations in the air is known to cause permanent mental disorders, insomnia, and pain and numbness in the hands and the feet, among other things. Therefore, the maximum allowable concentration of mercury vapor in the air at work places is regulated by federal agencies. These regulations require that the average level of mercury concentration in the air does not exceed 0.1 mg/m3 . Consider a mercury spill that occurs in an airtight storage room at 208C in San Francisco during an earthquake. Calculate the highest level of mercury concentration in the air that can occur in the storage room, in mg/m3 , and determine if it is within the safe level. The vapor pressure of mercury at 208C is 0.173 Pa. Propose some guidelines to safeguard against the formation of toxic concentrations of mercury vapor in air in storage rooms and laboratories.
