QUESTION:

Answer the following true or false. Explain.

(a) For a gas modeled as an ideal gas, \(c_p=c_v+R\), where R is the gas constant for the gas.

(b) Air always can be regarded as a pure substance.

(c) Water at \(p=100 \mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{in}^2\) and \(v=0.0169 \mathrm{ft}^3 / \mathrm{lb}\) is a compressed liquid.

(d) Atmospheric air is normally not modeled as an ideal

gas.

(e) For liquid water, the following approximation is reasonable for many engineering calculations: \(v(T, p)= v_{\mathrm{f}}(T)\).

ANSWER:

Solution 146P:

Step 1 of 5:-

a)

For a gas modeled as an ideal gas, cp = cv + R, where R is the gas constant for the gas.

This is true.

We know that, .

And

We also know that, .

So, the 1st law of thermodynamics tells that,
