1. Heat transfer and specific heat. When a substance absorbs or releases heat the temperature will change. How much the temperature changes will depend on the amount and type of substance and its specific heat, c, which is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of substance 1 °C. Sand has a much lower specific heat compared to that of water, 0.84 J/g °C vs. 4.184 J/g °C. In your group, think about what this means. Which will heat up and cool down faster? Slower? Have you observed this in your life experiences?

1) A piston-cylinder system containing 1100 grams of an ideal gas ‘X’ is cooled from 900 K to 100 K at constant pressure. The specific heat capacity of the gas is Cp = 38.3 J.mol-1.K-1. Assume Cp stays constant in the given temperature range. The molar mass of the gas = 28 g.mol-1. a) Write the simplified first law of thermodynamics for this system with justification. b) Calculate the total heat transferred (in kJ) during the process of cooling c) If the entire heat from the cooling of ‘X’ (as calculated in (b)) could be used as work to change the volume of another gas ‘Y’ from 500 m3 to 1000 m3 in a constant pressure process, calculate the value of pressure. d) Instead of cooling at constant pressure, if ‘X’ was expanded reversibly and at a constant temperature (300K), calculate the work done by the system in kJ if the change in volume was 10-fold.
Thermodynamics deals with forms of energy and change in the total energy of a system which can be assigned a value of zero at some reference point. The total energy of a system has two groups: macroscopic and microscopic. Describe the concept of macroscopic and microscopic forms of energy in a thermodynamics system. (d) A quantity of matter or a region in space chosen for study is referred to system. Some thermodynamics relations that are applicable to closed and open systems are different. It is extremely important to recognize the system before start analyzing it. Thus, differentiate among following thermodynamics systems. (i) Isolated system; (ii) Rigid system; and (iii) Adiabatic system.

Do you think utilization of geothermal energy worldwide is increasing yearly? Justify your answer. Do you think the geothermal energy available in this site can be used for a metal melting industry?
the specific heat (cp or cv) can also be understood as a "capacity or ability of a given material to store "heat". In this way, we can say that: 1- the greater the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material.2- the higher the specific heat, the lower the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material3- the lower the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material4- the lower the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change5-the higher the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change choose only one of the above alternatives as correct
A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 11.0 m high flight of steps in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 ✕ 107 J of chemical energy and the body can convert about 19.4% of this into mechanical energy (the rest goes into internal energy.) (a)How much mechanical energy (in J) can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat? (b)How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the 74.0 kg student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of energy required to return down the stairs.

1. In general, the internal energy U depends on both temperature and volume, U=U(TV). The volume dependence comes from the potential energy due to the interactions among the particles. For free particles, there are no interactions, thus, the internal energy U should be independent of the volume, i.e., = 0. Verify this result for ideal gas pV = RT. au av
