You are studying compression of a gas by piston in an isolated system, which has adiabatic walls. What is the sign of q, w, and ΔU for this process?
for Adiabatic container.
Q=0
and as we know
Q+W=
U
for compression W=-PdV , Here dV=V2-V1 which is -ve and hence PdV is -ve and overall work done is Positive.
as Q=0 therefore W=
U
and Work done is +ve and therefore Change in internal energy is
also positive.
So sign of Q=0, W=+ve,
U=+ve.
Thank you

One mole of an ideal gas in a closed system undergoes a mechanically reversible adiabatic compression process and changes from V1= 0.05 m^3 and P1= 1 bar to P2= 12 bar. Calculate Q, W, ∆U, and ∆H of the process. If the process will become irreversible with 50% efficiency, calculate the W, Q, ∆U, and ∆H.
Part A An ideal gas expands through an adiabatic process. Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply.

A cylindrical vessel with rigid adiabatic walls is separated into two parts by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Each part contains 40 L of an ideal monatomic gas with CV,m = 3R/2. Initially, Ti = 280 K and Pi = 170 kPa in each part. Heat is slowly introduced into the left part using an electrical heater until the piston has moved sufficiently to the right to result in a final pressure Pf = 4.20 bar in the right section. Consider...
5. (a)Consider adiabatic compression of 2 kg of air in a piston-cylinder assembly from 1 bar and 330 K (State 1) to 14 bar and 700 K (State 2). Air can be considered an ideal gas at these conditions and molecular weight of air is 28.97 kg/kmol. Find the entropy of air in State 1 and State 2. Using the entropy balance equation for a closed system calculate the entropy generation (kJ/K) during the compression process. (b) If entropy decreases...
Adiabatic Process An adiabatic process is defined to be one in which there is no heat transfer-that is, Q-0. Processes that are nearly adiabatic can be achieved by using very effective insulation. Don't use scientific notations in your answers. Case 1. A 0.4-mol monatomic ideal gas system undergoes an adiabatic expansion, which results in a temperature decrease of 30K (a) What is the change in internal energy? Include a proper sign. Keep 2 decimal places. (5 attempts remaining) (b) What...
(b) For a fixed amount of gas, held in a cylinder by a piston, write down which one of the following is true: (A) for an isothermal process: W = Q! B) for an adiabatic process: 0 C) for expansion at constant pressure: Q > 0 (D) for an isothermal process: Q-0 (E) for adiabatic expansion: Q<0
Five moles of nitrogen gas is expanded in a piston-cylinder assembly from an initial state of 3 bar and 88 ºC to a final pressure of 1 bar. You can assume nitrogen to behave as an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity CP =7R/2. a) If the expansion is carried out isothermally and reversibly, calculate Q, W, ΔH and ΔU. Draw the process on a pV diagram. Label the axis and the path clearly. b) If the expansion is...
9. A container of ideal gas has a movable frictionless piston. This container is placed in a very large water bath and slowly compressed so that the temperature of the gas remains constant and equal to the temperature of the water. Which of the following statements about this gas are true for this process? The internal energy of the gas increases during the compression because work is done on the gas. Since the temperature of the gas remains constant, the...
A cylinder with a piston contains 0.140 mol of nitrogen at 1.88 105 Pa and 325 K. The nitrogen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas is first compressed isobarically to half its original volume. It then expands adiabatically back to its original volume, and finally it is heated isochorically to its original pressure. PLEASE do B and C and don't don't forget to show all the steps specially for B becuase I don't know how to do...
Consider n moles of ideal gas kept in a heat-isolated cylinder (all processes are adiabatic) with a piston at external pressure p0, and at temperature T0. The external pressure is suddenly changed to p=2p0, and we wait for the system to equilibrate. The volume and the temperature of the ideal gas after equilibration is V and T, respectively. a) Calculate the amount w of work produced on the system in terms of p, p0, V, T0, and n. Using the...
