    Maximum Pressure
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum pressure in a thermodynamic cycle involving isothermal compression, isobaric expansion, and isochoric cooling. The user has provided specific parameters, including the gas constant R and specific heat Cp, and has attempted calculations using the ideal gas law and other formulas. They derived the mass of air present as 247.90g and calculated a value of 1925.958 using a different formula but are uncertain about the accuracy of their results. Clarification and assistance are requested to confirm the calculations and ensure they are correct. The thread highlights the need for precise problem-solving in thermodynamics.

I've serach for almost a day now ,
just to search the formula to calculate the maximum pressure in the cycle
A very big thank you and appreciate for the help

What cycle specifically are you referring to, xto? Could you please provide a more complete problem description, and show us what you have tried so far?
 
i)isothermal compresssion from state 1 through a volumetric compression ration of 6 to state 2
ii) isobaric expansion from state 2 back to the initial volume thus reaching state 3
iii) isochoric cooling from state 3 back to the original pressure to reach state

it ask for the mass of air present and the maximum pressure in the cycle

Given
R=0.287 kj/kg K
Cp=1.005 Kj/KG K

i have done
pv=nrt
t=303K
p=1.2x0.9869
=1.1832
V=2.2x1000
=2.2x10^3

so (1.1832atm)(2.2x10^3L)
-----------------------
(1.005) (303K)

which the ans is 247.90g Air

then i use this formula
vm=(Qp/4 x Z)
so (2.2x10^3)(1.005)/4x(0.287)
which get
1925.958

i'm not sure if it's rite or not
please help , thx

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
