Systems, Properties, State, and Processes
2-1C The radiator should be analyzed as an open system since mass is crossing the boundaries of the system.
2-2C The system is taken as the air contained in the piston-cylinder device. This system is a closed or fixed mass system
since no mass enters or leaves it.
2-3C A can of soft drink should be analyzed as a closed system since no mass is crossing the boundaries of the system.
2-4C Intensive properties do not depend on the size (extent) of the system but extensive properties do.
2-5C If we were to divide the system into smaller portions, the weight of each portion would also be smaller. Hence, the
weight is an extensive property.
2-6C Yes, because temperature and pressure are two independent properties and the air in an isolated room is a simple
compressible system.
2-7C If we were to divide this system in half, both the volume and the number of moles contained in each half would be
one-half that of the original system. The molar specific volume of the original system is
v ๏ฝ
V
N
and the molar specific volume of one of the smaller systems is
V/ 2 V
๏ฝ
N /2 N
which is the same as that of the original system. The molar specific volume is then an intensive property.
v ๏ฝ
2-8C A process during which a system remains almost in equilibrium at all times is called a quasi-equilibrium process.
Many engineering processes can be approximated as being quasi-equilibrium. The work output of a device is maximum and
the work input to a device is minimum when quasi-equilibrium processes are used instead of nonquasi-equilibrium
processes.
2-9C A process during which the temperature remains constant is called isothermal; a process during which the pressure
remains constant is called isobaric; and a process during which the volume remains constant is called isochoric.
2-10C The pressure and temperature of the water are normally used to describe the state. Chemical composition, surface
tension coefficient, and other properties may be required in some cases.
As the water cools, its pressure remains fixed. This cooling process is then an isobaric process.

2-11C When analyzing the acceleration of gases as they flow through a nozzle, the proper choice for the system is the
volume within the nozzle, bounded by the entire inner surface of the nozzle and the inlet and outlet cross-sections. This is a
control volume since mass crosses the boundary.
2-12C The specific gravity, or relative density, and is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of
some standard substance at a specified temperature (usually water at 4ยฐC, for which ๏ฒH2O = 1000 kg/m3). That is,
SG ๏ฝ ๏ฒ / ๏ฒ H2O . When specific gravity is known, density is determined from ๏ฒ ๏ฝ SG ๏ด ๏ฒ H2O .

The variation of density of atmospheric air with elevation is given in tabular form. A relation for the variation of
density with elevation is to be obtained, the density at 7 km elevation is to be calculated, and the mass of the atmosphere
using the correlation is to be estimated.
Assumptions 1 Atmospheric air behaves as an ideal gas. 2 The earth is perfectly sphere with a radius of 6377 km, and the
thickness of the atmosphere is 25 km.

Analysis Using EES, (1) Define a trivial function rho= a+z in equation window, (2) select new parametric table from
Tables, and type the data in a two-column table, (3) select Plot and plot the data, and (4) select plot and click on โcurve fitโ
to get curve fit window. Then specify 2nd order polynomial and enter/edit equation. The results are:
๏ฒ(z) = a + bz + cz2 = 1.20252 โ 0.101674z + 0.0022375z2
for the unit of kg/m3,
(or, ๏ฒ(z) = (1.20252 โ 0.101674z + 0.0022375z2)๏ด109 for the unit of kg/km3)
where z is the vertical distance from the earth surface at sea level. At z = 7 km, the equation would give ๏ฒ = 0.60 kg/m3.

where r0 = 6377 km is the radius of the earth, h = 25 km is the thickness of the atmosphere, and a = 1.20252, b = 0.101674, and c = 0.0022375 are the constants in the density function. Substituting and multiplying by the factor 10 9 for the
density unity kg/km3, the mass of the atmosphere is determined to be
m = 5.092๏ด1018 kg

Temperature
2-14C They are Celsius (๏ฐC) and kelvin (K) in the SI, and fahrenheit (๏ฐF) and rankine (R) in the English system.
2-15C Probably, but not necessarily. The operation of these two thermometers is based on the thermal expansion of a fluid.
If the thermal expansion coefficients of both fluids vary linearly with temperature, then both fluids will expand at the same
rate with temperature, and both thermometers will always give identical readings. Otherwise, the two readings may deviate.
2-16C Two systems having different temperatures and energy contents are brought in contact. The direction of heat transfer
is to be determined.
Analysis Heat transfer occurs from warmer to cooler objects. Therefore, heat will be transferred from system B to system A
until both systems reach the same temperature.
2-17 A temperature is given in ๏ฐC. It is to be expressed in K.
Analysis The Kelvin scale is related to Celsius scale by
T(K] = T(๏ฐC) + 273
Thus,
T(K] = 37๏ฐC + 273 = 310 K
2-18E The temperature of air given in ๏ฐC unit is to be converted to ๏ฐF and R unit.
Analysis Using the conversion relations between the various temperature scales,

2-19 A temperature change is given in ๏ฐC. It is to be expressed in K.
Analysis This problem deals with temperature changes, which are identical in Kelvin and Celsius scales. Thus,
๏T(K] = ๏T(๏ฐC) = 70 K
2-20E The flash point temperature of engine oil given in ๏ฐF unit is to be converted to K and R units.

2-22E A temperature change is given in ๏ฐF. It is to be expressed in ๏ฐC, K, and R.
Analysis This problem deals with temperature changes, which are identical in Rankine and Fahrenheit scales. Thus,
๏T(R) = ๏T(ยฐF) = 45 R
The temperature changes in Celsius and Kelvin scales are also identical, and are related to the changes in Fahrenheit and
Rankine scales by
๏T(K) = ๏T(R)/1.8 = 45/1.8 = 25 K
and
๏T(๏ฐC) = ๏T(K) = 25๏ฐC
Pressure, Manometer, and Barometer
2-23C The atmospheric pressure, which is the external pressure exerted on the skin, decreases with increasing elevation.
Therefore, the pressure is lower at higher elevations. As a result, the difference between the blood pressure in the veins and
the air pressure outside increases. This pressure imbalance may cause some thin-walled veins such as the ones in the nose to
burst, causing bleeding. The shortness of breath is caused by the lower air density at higher elevations, and thus lower
amount of oxygen per unit volume.
2-24C The blood vessels are more restricted when the arm is parallel to the body than when the arm is perpendicular to the
body. For a constant volume of blood to be discharged by the heart, the blood pressure must increase to overcome the
increased resistance to flow.
2-25C No, the absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density does not double when the depth is doubled. It is the gage
pressure that doubles when the depth is doubled.
2-26C Pascalโs principle states that the pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout by the same
amount. This is a consequence of the pressure in a fluid remaining constant in the horizontal direction. An example of
Pascalโs principle is the operation of the hydraulic car jack.
2-27C The density of air at sea level is higher than the density of air on top of a high mountain. Therefore, the volume flow
rates of the two fans running at identical speeds will be the same, but the mass flow rate of the fan at sea level will be
higher.

2-32E The pressure in a tank is measured with a manometer by measuring the differential height of the manometer fluid.
The absolute pressure in the tank is to be determined for the cases of the manometer arm with the higher and lower fluid
level being attached to the tank .
Assumptions The fluid in the manometer is incompressible.
Properties The specific gravity of the fluid is given to be SG = 1.25. The
density of water at 32๏ฐF is 62.4 lbm/ft3 (Table A-3E)
Analysis The density of the fluid is obtained by multiplying its specific

๏ฒ ๏ฝ SG ๏ด ๏ฒ H 2O ๏ฝ (1.25)(62.4 lbm/ft 3 ) ๏ฝ 78.0 lbm/ft 3

(b) The fluid level in the arm attached to the tank is lower:
Pabs ๏ฝ Pgage ๏ซ Patm ๏ฝ 12.7 ๏ซ 1.26 ๏ฝ 13.96 psia
Discussion Note that we can determine whether the pressure in a tank is above or below atmospheric pressure by simply
observing the side of the manometer arm with the higher fluid level.
2-33 The pressure in a pressurized water tank is measured by a multi-fluid manometer. The gage pressure of air in the tank
is to be determined.
Assumptions The air pressure in the tank is uniform (i.e., its variation with elevation is negligible due to its low density),
and thus we can determine the pressure at the air-water interface.
Properties The densities of mercury, water, and oil are given to be 13,600, 1000, and 850 kg/m3, respectively.
Analysis Starting with the pressure at point 1 at the air-water interface, and moving along the tube by adding (as we go
down) or subtracting (as we go up) the ๏ฒgh terms until we reach point 2, and setting the result equal to Patm since the tube
is open to the atmosphere gives
P1 ๏ซ ๏ฒ water gh1 ๏ซ ๏ฒ oil gh2 ๏ญ ๏ฒ mercury gh3 ๏ฝ Patm
Solving for P1,
P1 ๏ฝ Patm ๏ญ ๏ฒ water gh1 ๏ญ ๏ฒ oil gh2 ๏ซ ๏ฒ mercury gh3
or,
P1 ๏ญ Patm ๏ฝ g ( ๏ฒ mercury h3 ๏ญ ๏ฒ water h1 ๏ญ ๏ฒ oil h2 )
Noting that P1,gage = P1 – Patm and substituting,

“To plot fluid height against density place {} around the above equation. Then set up the parametric table and

DELTAP = RHO*g*h/1000
“Instead of dividiing by 1000 Pa/kPa we could have multiplied by the EES function, CONVERT(Pa,kPa)”

Discussion This is the โaverageโ temperature. The actual temperature at different times can be different.
2-70 A new โSmithโ absolute temperature scale is proposed, and a value of 1000 S is assigned to the boiling point of water.

Analysis All linear absolute temperature scales read zero at absolute zero pressure, and are

constant multiples of each other. For example, T(R) = 1.8 T(K). That is, multiplying a

The proposed temperature scale is an acceptable absolute temperature scale since it
differs from the other absolute temperature scales by a constant only. The boiling temperature

2-71E An expression for the equivalent wind chill temperature is given in English units. It is to be converted to SI units.
Analysis The required conversion relations are 1 mph = 1.609 km/h and T(๏ฐF) = 1.8T(๏ฐC) + 32. The first thought that comes
to mind is to replace T(๏ฐF) in the equation by its equivalent 1.8T(๏ฐC) + 32, and V in mph by 1.609 km/h, which is the
โregularโ way of converting units. However, the equation we have is not a regular dimensionally homogeneous equation,
and thus the regular rules do not apply. The V in the equation is a constant whose value is equal to the numerical value of
the velocity in mph. Therefore, if V is given in km/h, we should divide it by 1.609 to convert it to the desired unit of mph.
That is,
Tequiv (๏ฐ F) ๏ฝ 914

2-83E Equal volumes of water and oil are poured into a U-tube from different arms, and the oil side is pressurized until the
contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom and the liquid levels in both arms become the same. The excess
pressure applied on the oil side is to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Both water and oil are incompressible substances. 2 Oil
does not mix with water. 3 The cross-sectional area of the U-tube is
constant.
Properties The density of oil is given to be ๏ฒoil = 49.3 lbm/ft3. We take the
density of water to be ๏ฒw = 62.4 lbm/ft3.
Analysis Noting that the pressure of both the water and the oil is the
same at the contact surface, the pressure at this surface can be expressed
as

that when the curvature effects of the tube are disregarded, the differential height of water will be 23.7 in to balance 30-in of
oil.
