Homework Assignments PH 327 Spring 2016
For first day of class:Read
parts
of Chapter 1 enough to bring to class Schroeder's
definitions of a) temperature,
b) heat, and c) work.
The 'expiration' date of an
assignment is two days after the due date.
Set 1. Due Thursday March 10, 2016
- 1.7 a), p. 6
- 1.15, p. 8. a) Find the density of air in Albuquerque at 40 F
(dawn) and 55 F (late morning). b) Take the balloon diameter to be 60
ft. (Balloons like those in Fig. 1 are launched during the Balloon
Festival in Albuquerque, NM in October each year.) (p. 8 gives the
payload mass as 500 kg)
- For temperatures of
40 F and 55 F,. find the mass of air inside the balloon when hovering.
c) Find the average air temperature
inside the balloon with outside air is 40 F (dawn), at 55 F (late
morning).
- Use data on pp 404,5 to out how many mols of propane must be
burned to raise the
air temperature inside the balloon from 310 K to 320 K, including the
air which would leave during the heating (assume all the air stays
inside during heating). Write out the stoichiometry, and show the
details of the calculation. Look-up of propane combustion will not do.
The standard 'heat of combustion' assumes the water winds up as liquid.
For this problem, assume that the water produced by the combustion
stays in the vapor phase.
Same balloon as earlier, 60 ft diameter, 500 kg payload.
Set 2. Due
Tuesday March 15, 2016
- 1.12 p. 8
- 1.16 p. 8
- 1.17 a) and b), p. 9
- 1.17 c) and d), p. 9
Set 3. Due
Friday March 18, 2016
- 1.34, p. 23
- 1.37, p. 26
- Calculate the heat flow through the walls and ceiling of
the
SRC
for 20 degrees F temperature difference. Take the building to be 27'
high and 314' x 208' in footprint. Ignore heat flow through the floor,
take 20% window area, 80% other area, R-2 for windows, R-10 for walls,
etc. First find the heat flow in BTU/hr, then watts. Determine the
heating cost per day, at 10 cents per kwh.
