10 kg of co2 is initially contained at 400 kpa and 300 k. the gas constant for carbon dioxide is 189 j/lkg k) and has a specific heat ratio, k, of 1.289. isentropic expansion then occurs until the pressure is 200 kpa. a) determine the initial volume of co2 in m. b) determine the final temperature in k. c) determine the work done by the system during the expansion kl.

Abarometer contains mercury with a density of 13600 kg/m3. atmospheric conditions are 95.8 kpa and 20 °c at 20 °c, the vapor pressure of the mercury is 0.000173 kpa. the column of mercury will rise to a height of most nearly. select one: a)- 0.38 m b)- 0.82 m c)- 0.48 m d)- 0.72 m

An inventor claims to have developed a reversed heat engine (ie. a heat pump) which is able to deliver 10 kj heat into the room at 20°c from outside ambient temperature of -10°c by consuming only 2 kj electricity in winter. this claim is a)-impossible b)-possible only if the heat pump is ideal c)-practically possible d)-unable to be assessed as it depends on the working fluid used in the heat pump.
