Thermodynamics - know process, work and change in entropy. Final temperature?

AI Thread Summary
A 200-gram sample of dry air is heated isobarically, resulting in an entropy increase of 19.2 J/K and work done by expansion of 1.61x10^3 J. The discussion revolves around calculating the final temperature using the relationship between heat transfer (dq), internal energy change (du), and work done (dw). Participants express confusion about how to derive the final temperature without an initial temperature provided. The solution involves using the equation dφ = dq/T and integrating to find the temperature difference. Ultimately, the final temperature can be determined through the work done and the change in entropy.

So, the problem is:
A 200-gram sample of dry air is heated isobarically. Its entropy increases by 19.2 J/K and the work done by expansion is 1.61x103 J. Solve for the final temperature of the air.

Okay, since p=const => dq=CpdT thus instead of dq=du+dw we can write
dq=dq(Cv/Cp)+dw
can find dq=460.46
So i know dq,du,dw,d\phi, but how do I get final temperature? All I can find is dT but it's useless sine I don't know initial temperature.
And where do I put mass and how to use the d\phi=dq/T formula? Looks like it will be needed here...

Thanks a lot in advance!

nevermind. solved it.
 
Aw. I have this problem too and I'm stuck on it. :(
 
Get Tfinal - Tinitial through work, then you can solve integral dphi=dq/t and get the answer for Tfinal.
 
I have this problem too and i still do not understand how you can solve for T final if there is not an initial temp given.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
