INSTRUCTIONS 1. This is a closed book examination. You are provided with an equation sheet and all needed property tables are provided. 2. Do not hesitate to ask the instructor if you do not understand a problem statement. 3. Start each problem on the same page as the problem statement. Write on only one side of the page. Materials on the back side of the page will not be graded. There are blank pages following problems 2 and 3 for your work. 4. Put only one problem on a page. Another problem on the same page will not be graded. 5. Label your system and list relevant assumptions for problems 2 and 3. 6. If you give multiple solutions, you will receive only a partial credit although one of the solutions might be correct. Delete the solution you do not want graded. 7. For your own benefit, please write clearly and legibly. Maximum credit for each problem is indicated below. 8. After you have completed the exam, at your seat put your papers in order. This may mean that you have to remove the staple and re-staple. Do not turn in loose pages. 9. Once time is called you will have three minutes to turn in your exam. Points will be subtracted for exams turned in after these three minutes.

First Name ___________________Last Name ____________________ Problem 1 (continued) (d) A 9 m3 rigid tank has two sections (A and B) separated by a membrane, both of which contain nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas in Section A has initial density of 1.667 kg/m3 and nitrogen gas in Section B has mass of 6 kg. The membrane breaks and nitrogen occupies the entire tank and its final density is 1.778 kg/m3. What is the volume (m3) of nitrogen that existed in Section A? (10 points)

First Name ___________________Last Name ____________________ Problem 2 (30 points) A well-insulated piston-cylinder device contains a gas at 1 bar absolute pressure occupying 1 m3 volume (state 1). At this state, the internal energy of the gas is 61.1 kJ. The gas is compressed slowly to an absolute pressure of 10 bar (state 2) such that PV = constant. During the compression process, an electric resistor within the cylinder receives a current of 8 A from an external battery of 6 V for a duration of 3 minutes. Do not solve (b) as practice for Exam-1 in Fall 2013 (a) Calculate total work (kJ) for the gas. (b) Determine internal energy (kJ) of the gas at state 2. Identify your system, list assumptions, and start with basic equations.
