One kg of air is heated in a closed rigid vessel

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the heat transfer and change in internal energy for one kg of air heated from 27°C to 427°C in a closed rigid vessel. The relevant equations include Q = m * Cv * (T2 - T1) for heat transfer and ΔU = Q for internal energy change, given that no work is done due to constant volume. The user initially calculates heat transfer but questions the unit correctness and the relationship between R and Cv. Clarification is provided that since the vessel is rigid, the heat transferred equals the change in internal energy, simplifying the calculations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the properties of gases under constant volume conditions.

Homework Statement



One kg of air is heated in a closed rigid vessel such its temperature changes from 27 C to 427 C . Find the heat transfered
and change in internal energy .
Assume : -
R= 0.287 KJ/kg k
Cv = 0786 KJ/Kg k

Homework Equations



Q = mXCX(T2 - T1 )

The Attempt at a Solution



please can anyone explain to me how I can solve this question

and is R and Cv must be in same unit

my answer :

heat transfer = 1 X 0.786 X 10 (700-300 )

314.4X 10^3 KJ ( is the unit correct )

and about second one I don't have any idea for solve it
 
Physics news on Phys.org
ΔU=q + w(external)
w=work
as you posted Cv then volume is constnt so change in pressure should be taken.so by Gay Lussacs law P=kT
thereforeP1/P2=T1/T2
so you can find Work by volume*change in pressure
add Q to get work
 
I don't understand clearly can please help ?
 
Since the container is rigid, there is no volume change and no work is done. The heat transferred is equal to the change in internal energy.
 
thanks so much
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
