4.a
The electric company charges the customers per kW-hour. What is that in SI
units?
Solution:
The unit kW-hour is a rate
multiplied with time. For the
standard SI units the rate of
energy is in W and the time is
in seconds. The integration in
Eq.4.21 becomes
1 kW- hour = 1000 W × 60 min
hour hour × 60 s
min = 3 600 000 Ws
= 3 600 000 J = 3.6 MJ
4.b
Torque and energy and work have the same units (N m). Explain the difference.
Solution:
Work = force × displacement, so units are N × m. Energy in transfer
Energy is stored, could be from work input 1 J = 1 N m
Torque = force × arm static, no displacement needed

4.c
What is roughly the relative magnitude of the work in the process 1-2c versus the
process 1-2a shown in figure 4.8?
By visual inspection the area below the curve 1-2c is roughly 50% of the
rectangular area below the curve 1-2a. To see this better draw a straight line from
state 1 to point f on the axis. This curve has exactly 50% of the area below it.
4.d
Helium gas expands from 125 kPa, 350 K and 0.25 m3 to 100 kPa in a polytropic
process with n = 1.667. Is the work positive, negative or zero?
The boundary work is:
W = ⌡⌠P dV
P drops but does V go up or down?
The process equation is:
PVn = C
so we can solve for P to show it in a P-V diagram
P = CV-n
as n = 1.667 the curve drops as V goes up we see
V2 > V1 giving dV > 0
and the work is then positive.

4.e
An ideal gas goes through an expansion process where the volume doubles.
Which process will lead to the larger work output: an isothermal process or a
polytropic process with n = 1.25?
The process equation is:
PVn = C
The polytropic process with n = 1.25 drops the pressure faster than the isothermal
process with n = 1 and the area below the curve is then smaller.

4.1
A car engine is rated at 160 hp. What is the power in SI units?
Solution:
The horsepower is an older unit for power
usually used for car engines. The
conversion to standard SI units is given in
Table A.1
1 hp = 0.7355 kW = 735.5 W
1 hp = 0.7457 kW for the UK horsepower
160 hp = 160 × 745.7 W = 119 312 W = 119.3 kW

4.2
Two engines provide the same amount of work to lift a hoist. One engine can
provide 3 F in a cable and the other 1 F, What can you say about the motion of the
point where the force F acts in the two engines?
Since the two work terms are the same we get
W = ∫ F dx = 3 F x1 = 1 F x2
x2 = 3 x1
so the lower force has a larger displacement.

Two hydraulic piston/cylinders are connected through a hydraulic line so they
have roughly the same pressure. If they have diameters of D1 and D2 = 2D1
respectively, what can you say about the piston forces F1 and F2?
For each cylinder we have the total force as: F = PAcyl = P π D2/4
F1 = PAcyl 1 = P π D2

F2 = PAcyl 2 = P π D2

The forces are the total force

forces on each piston to have a

Normally pistons have a flat head, but in diesel engines pistons can have bowls in
them and protruding ridges. Does this geometry influence the work term?
The shape of the surface does not influence the displacement
dV = An dx
where An is the area projected to the plane normal to the direction of motion.
An = Acyl = π D2/4
Work is
dW = F dx = P dV = P An dx = P Acyl dx
and thus unaffected by the surface shape.

For a buffer storage of natural gas (CH4) a large bell in a container can move up and
down keeping a pressure of 105 kPa inside. The sun then heats the container and the
gas from 280 K to 300 K during 4 hours. What happens to the volume and what is
the sign of the work term?

The process has constant pressure
Ideal gas: PV = mRT as T increases then V increases
1W2 = ∫ P dV > 0 so positive.

What can you say about the beginning state of the R-410a in Fig. P4.9 versus the
case in Fig. P4.12 for the same piston-cylinder?
For the case where the piston floats as in Fig. P4.9 the pressure of the R-410a
must equal the equilibrium pressure that floats (balance forces on) the piston.
The situation in Fig. P4.12 is possible if the R-410a pressure equals or exceeds
the float pressure.

A piece of steel has a conductivity of k = 15 W/mK and a brick has k = 1 W/mK.
How thick a steel wall will provide the same insulation as a 10 cm thick brick?
The heat transfer due to conduction is from Eq. 4.18
.
Q = − kA dT
dx ≈ kA ∆T

For the same area and temperature difference the heat transfers become
the same for equal values of (k / ∆x) so

A thermopane window, see Fig. 4.27, traps some gas between the two glass
panes. Why is this beneficial?
The gas has a very low conductivity relative to a liquid or solid so the heat
transfer for a given thickness becomes smaller. The gap is furthermore made so
small that possible natural convection motion is reduced to a minimum. It
becomes a trade off to minimize the overall heat transfer due to conduction and
convection. Typically these windows can be manufactured with an E-glaze to
reduce radiation loss (winter) or gain (summer).

On a chilly 10oC fall day a house, 20oC inside, loses 6 kW by heat transfer. What
transfer happens on a 30oC warm summer day assuming everything else is the
same?
The heat transfer is
.
Q = CA ∆T where the details of the heat transfer is in the
factor C. Assuming those details are the same then it is the temperature difference
that changes the heat transfer so
.
Q = CA ∆T = 6 kW = CA (20 – 10) => CA = 0.6 kW
K
Then
.
Q = CA ∆T = 0.6 kW
K × (20 – 30) K = – 6 kW (it goes in)

The rolling resistance of a car depends on its weight as: F = 0.006 m g. How long
will a car of 1400 kg drive for a work input of 25 kJ?
Solution:
Work is force times distance so assuming a constant force we get
W = ⌡⌠ F dx = F x = 0.006 mgx
Solve for x
x =
W
0.006 mg =
25 kJ
0.006 × 1400 kg × 9.807 m/s2 = 303.5 m

The air drag force on a car is 0.225 A ρV2. Assume air at 290 K, 100 kPa and a
car frontal area of 4 m2 driving at 90 km/h. How much energy is used to
overcome the air drag driving for 30 minutes?
The formula involves density and velocity and work involves distance so:
ρ = 1
v = P
RT =
100
0.287 ×290 = 1.2015 kg
m3
V = 90 km
h = 90 × 1000
3600 m
s = 25 m/s
∆x = V ∆t = 25 m/s × 30 min × 60 s/min = 45 000 m
Now
F = 0.225 A ρ V2 = 0.225 × 4 × 1.2015 × 252
= 675.8 m2 kg
m3 × m2
s2 = 676 N
W = F ∆x = 676 N × 45 000 m = 30 420 000 J = 30.42 MJ

The R-410a in Problem 4.12 c is at 1000 kPa, 50oC with mass 0.1 kg. It is cooled
so the volume is reduced to half the initial volume . The piston mass and
gravitation is such that a pressure of 400 kPa will float the piston. Find the work
in the process.
If the volume is reduced the piston must drop and thus float with P = 400 kPa.
The process therefore follows a process curve shown in the P-V diagram.

A steam radiator in a room at 25°C has saturated water vapor at 110 kPa flowing
through it, when the inlet and exit valves are closed. What is the pressure and the
quality of the water, when it has cooled to 25oC? How much work is done?
Solution: Control volume radiator.
After the valve is closed no more flow, constant volume and mass.
1: x1 = 1, P1 = 110 kPa ⇒ v1 = vg = 1.566 m3/kg from Table B.1.2
2: T2 = 25oC, ?
Process: v2 = v1 = 1.566 m3/kg = [0.001003 + x2 × 43.359] m3/kg
x2 = 1.566 – 0.001003

A constant pressure piston cylinder contains 0.2 kg water as saturated vapor at
400 kPa. It is now cooled so the water occupies half the
