Question 1
• The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the
barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of a building are 675 and
695 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Take the
densities of air and mercury to be 1.18 kg/m3 and 13,600 kg/m3,
respectively.
Question 2
• Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs
only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical
conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb
= ρairgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon
has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 85 kg each,
determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first
released. Assume the density of air is ρ = 1.16 kg/m3, and
neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage.
Question 3
• A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston–cylinder device. The piston has a
mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the
piston exerts a force of 150 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa,
determine the pressure inside the cylinder.
Question 4
• Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump
that provides 20 kW of shaft power. The free surface of the upper
reservoir is 45 m higher than that of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate
of water is measured to be 0.03 m3/s, determine mechanical power that
is converted to thermal energy during this process due to frictional
effects.
Question 5
Consider a classroom for 55 students and one instructor, each generating heat at a rate of 100 W. Lighting is provided by 18
fluorescent lightbulbs, 40 W each, and the ballasts consume an additional 10 percent. Determine the rate of internal heat
generation in this classroom when it is fully occupied.
Question 6
• An automobile moving through the air causes the air velocity (measured with respect to
the car) to decrease and fill a larger flow channel. An automobile has an effective flow
channel area of 3 m2. The car is traveling at 90 km/h on a day when the barometric
pressure is 70 cm of mercury and the temperature is 20°C. Behind the car, the air
velocity (with respect to the car) is measured to be 82 km/h, and the temperature is 20°C.
Determine the power required to move this car through the air and the area of the
effective flow channel behind the car.
Question 7
• Consider a double-fluid manometer attached to an air pipe shown
in Fig. P1–72. If the specific gravity of one fluid is 13.55,
determine the specific gravity of the other fluid for the indicated
absolute pressure of air. Take the atmospheric pressure to be 100
kPa
Question-8
• An insulated rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one
part contains 4 kg of an ideal gas at 800 kPa and 50°C, and the other part is
evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the gas expands into the entire tank.
Determine the final temperature and pressure in the tank.
Question 9 A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.2 kg of steam at
200 kPa and 300°C. Now, the steam is cooled at constant pressure until
it is at 150°C. Determine the volume change of the cylinder during this
process using the compressibility factor, and compare the result to the
actual value.
Question 10
A 1-m3 tank contains 2.841 kg of steam at 0.6 MPa. Determine the temperature of the
steam, using
(a) the ideal-gas equation,
(b) the van der Waals equation, and
(c) the steam tables.
