Thermodynamics: Prepared By: Prof. Rene D. Estember

1. Thermodynamics is the branch of science dealing with heat, work, and energy. It examines processes involving transformations between heat and other forms of energy. 2. A thermodynamic system is a quantity of matter or a region in space isolated for analysis. Examples of systems include closed systems with fixed mass and open systems with mass transfer. 3. Thermodynamic properties describe characteristics of a system and can be intensive, like temperature, or extensive, like total energy. State properties quantify conditions like temperature, pressure, and density.

until its pressure and temperature are 413 kPa and 100oC, respectively. What is the
amount of work done by the fluid in kJ? (Note: Molecular Weight of NH 3 = 17). 9. What horsepower is required to isothermally compress 800 ft3 of air per minute
from 14.7 psia to 120 psia?

SAMPLE PROBLEMS

10. Two pounds of air initially at 60 psia and 600oF expands isentropically until the
temperature is 200oF. Compute the work done by the gas.

11. For a certain gas, R = 0.277kJ/kg.K and k = 1.384. a) What are the value of cp and
cv? b) What mass of this gas would occupy a volume of 0.425 cu m at 517.11 kPa
and 26.7oC? c) If 31.65 kJ are transferred to this gas at constant volume in (b), what
are the resulting temperature and pressure?
