1. Calculate
U , H ,V of water/vapor from the tables according to the data given below :
2. 1 mole of an ideal gas with Cp = (7/2)R and Cv = (5/2)R expands from P1 = 8 bar and T1 = 600 K to P2 = 1 bar
by each of the following paths:
a. Constant volume,
b. Constant temperature,
c. Adiabatically.
Assuming mechanical reversibility calculate W Q U ve H for each process.
3. An ideal gas initially at 600k and 10 bar undergoes a four-step mechanically reversible cycle in a closed
system. In step 12, pressure decreases isothermally to 3 bar; in step 23, pressure decreases at
contstant volume to 2 bar; in step 34, volume decreases at constant pressure; and in step 41, the gas
returns adiabatically to its initial state. Take Cp = (7/2)R and Cv = (5/2)R.
Calculate W, Q, U and H for each process and show every process on PV diagram. Cp = (7/2)R and Cv =
(5/2)R.
5. An ideal gas passes through a horizontal pipe at steady state. No additional work is present in the system
and there is no shaft work. The corss sectional area of the pipe changes along the tube which affects the
velocity within the tube. Derive an expression for the temperature change of the gas related with the
velocity of the gas. If nitrogen passes through one section of the tube with 2,5 m/s , what becomes the
temperature of the gas when its velocity is raised to 50 m/s? Cp = (7/2)R.
6. Temperature and pressure of a 1 mole of an ideal gas is changed from 30oC and 1 bar to 130oC ve 10 bar by
following three different reversible processes:
• Gas is first heated to 130oC at constant volume, then commpressed isothermally to 10 bar.
• Gas is first heated at constant pressure till it reaches 130oC, then commpressed isothermally to 10 bar.
• Gas is first compressed isothermally to 10 bar, then heated to 130oC at constant pressure.
Calculate W, Q, U and H values for each case by taking Cp and Cv as Cp = (7/2)R and Cv = (5/2)R . Repeat
your calculations by taking Cp and Cv constants as Cp = (5/2)R and Cv = (3/2)R.
7. 1 mole of ideal gas having constant heat capacity undergoes some reversible processes. Show that U = [1/(-
1)](PV) for this case.

b. Van der Waals equation of state,
c. Compressibility factor diagram.
9. Pressure of 1 mole CO2 gas in a 48°C and 1.32 lt tank is measured experimentally as 18.4 atm. Calculate the

a. ideal gas law,
b. Van der Waals equation of state,
c. Compressibility factor diagram. Compare the results you obtained with the experimental result and find
percent deviations.
10. There is 1 kg CO2 in a 20 lt tank. The temperature of the gas is 298 K. Calculate the pressure inside the tank

11. Calculate the specific volume of methane gas at 173 atm and 367 K by using :
a. ideal gas law,
b. Van der Waals equation of state,
c. Compressibility factor diagram. Compare the results you obtained with the experimental result (0.00998
m3/kg ).
12. Calculate the molar volume of n-butane at 350 K and 9.473 bar for
a. saturated vapor
b. saturated liquid cases.
13. Calculate Z and V for ethylene at 25oC and 12 bar using Peng-Robinson equation of state.
14. Calculate Z and V for steam at 250oC and 1800 kPa using steam tables.
15. A 0,35 m3 tank is filled with ethane vapor at 25oC and 2200 kPa. What becomes the pressure when the tank
is heated to 220oC?
