Oxygen initially is at 40 F and 16.8 Ibf/in?. It fills a closed, rigid 5 ft³ tank filled with a paddle wheel. During the process, paddle wheel provides 4 Btu of energy transfer by work to the gas. During the process, Gas temperature increases up to 90 F. Assuming ideal gas behavior and ignoring K.E and P.E effects, determine the Heat transfer in Btu and the mass of oxygen.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Initial temperature ([tex]T_{1}[/tex]) = [tex]40^{o}F[/tex] = 499.67R

        Initial pressure ([tex]P_{1}[/tex]) = 16.8 Psi

        Volume (V) = 5 [tex]ft^{3}[/tex]

       Work done = 4 Btu

        Final temperature ([tex]T_{2}[/tex]) = 90 F

So,  R of [tex]O_{2}[/tex] = 0.3353 Psi ft^{3}/lbm R

Therefore, we will calculate the mass of oxygen as follows.

            M = [tex]\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

                = [tex]\frac{16.8 \times 5}{0.3353 \times 499.67}[/tex]

                = 0.50137 lbm

Therefore, mass of oxygen is 0.50137 lbm.

Now, we will calculate the change in internal energy as follows.

          [tex]\Delta U = mC_{v} [T_{2} - T_{1}][/tex]

                       = [tex]0.50137 \times 0.157 \times (90 - 40)[/tex]

                       = 3.936 BTU

Relation between heat energy and internal energy is as follows.

           [tex]\Delta Q = \Delta u + W.d[/tex]

                      = [tex]3.936 + (-4)[/tex]

                      = -0.0642 BTU

Therefore, amount of heat transfer in BTU is 0.0642 BTU.
