Dr Murphy Flashcards
Approx how may kPa and how many bar are in 1 atmos?
100kPa
1bar
Give gauge pressure in terms of absolute and atmospheric pressure
Absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure
What is meant by a reversible process?
Both the fluid and the surroundings can always be restored to initial conditions
On a diagram how is a reversible and how is an irreversible reaction shown?
Reversible solid line
Irreversible dotted line
Give the first law of thermodynamics in an equation
Qin - Wout =ΔU
Give the non flow energy equation
Qin- Wout = ΔU
Give the steady flow energy equation (simplified)
Q’in - W’out = ΔKE’ + ΔPE’ + ΔH’
Where ‘ represents dot {first differential wrt time}
Give the equation for m dot
=CAρ
Give an equation for h
h=Pv+u
Describe a perfect gas
Theoretically, ideally behaved gas.
Temp vastly in excess of evaporation point.
Give boyles law and describe what happens to the graph as temp increases.
At constant temp: Pv=constant.
As temp increases curve moves further from origin
Give Charles’s laws and the combination if the 2. What is the constant in the combination?
At constant P: v/T=constant.
At constant v: P/t=constant.
Therefore Pv/t=constant=R=gas constant
Give the equation of state
PV=mRT
Give the equation for specific heat capacity.
Q=mCΔT
Give the equations for the 2 specific heat capacities multiplied by the change in temp.
Cv(T2-T1)=u2-u1
Cp(T2-T1)=h2-h1
What does Cp equal in terms of Cv?
Cp=R+Cv
What does isochoric mean?
Constant volume
What does isobaric mean?
Constant pressure
