QUIZ 3: Chapter 3
1. Answ er the fol low ing question: (10 points)
a) A process adiabatic is: A process d uri ng which t here is no heat tra nsfe r
b) Work is defined as: The energ y t rans fer associated with a force ccting
throug h a dista nce W = Fds

c) Express t he Fo uriers la w o f heat cond uc tion: Q COND = kA dT

dx
d) The work do ne per unit time is called: Power
e) Express t he firs t law o f t hermod ynamics for a c losed s ys tem:
Q W = E or Q W = U , with KE = 0 and PE = 0

f) Relatio n o f a Polytropic process : PVn=C

g) The specific heat is defi ned as: The e nerg y req uired to raise t he
temperat ure of a unit mass of a s ubsta nce b y o ne degree.
h) Cp is the : Specific hea t a t co nsta nt press ure

i) Express Newto ns la w of cooli ng: Q CONV = hA (Ts Tf )

j) The proper t y ca lled specific heat ra tio k, is de fined as : k = Cp/Cv
2. Problem: (5 points)
A rigid tank contains a ho t fluid tha t is cooled while being stirred by a
paddle wheel. Initially, t he inter na l energ y of t he f luid is 1000kJ. During the
cooling process, t he fluid loses 700kJ of heat . A paddle wheel does 200kJ
of work on t he fluid and an elec tric resistance does 100kJ of work.
Determine t he fina l inte rna l ene rgy of the f luid. Neglec t t he energ y stored
in t he paddle wheel.

Solution:
Como se tra ta de cili ndro r gido no se desa rrolla Wb =0 ( trabajo de bo undar y)
Q = 700 kJ

Wp = 200 kJ

We = 100 kJ

Aplicando la primera ley de la termodinmica para sistemas cerrados

First Law : Q Wother Wb = U + KE + PE
Conocemos que:
KE = 0 and PE = 0

Wb = 0
Entonces: First Law : Q Wother = U = U 2 U1
Ahora:
Wp = 200 kJ
We = 100 kJ
Q = 700 kJ

U1 = 1000 kJ
First Law : 700 kJ ( 200kJ 100kJ ) = U 2 1000kJ
Despejando:

U2 = 600 kJ
