Chapter 1 Solutions
1.1 (B) The utilization of energy is not of concern in our study. If you use energy to power your
car, or your car seat is your own decision.
1.2 (C) All properties are assumed to be uniformly distributed throughout the volume.
1.3 (D)
1.4 (B) When the working fluid crosses the boundary, it is a control volume, as during intake
and exhaust. The ice plus the water forms the system of (C). The entire atmosphere
forms the system of (D).
1.5 (C) An extensive property doubles if the mass doubles. Temperature is the same for the entire
room or half the room.
1.6 (D) A process may be very fast, humanly speaking, but molecules move very rapidly so an
engine operating at 4000 rpm is not thermodynamically fast. All sudden expansion
processes and combustion processes are non-equilibrium processes. Air leaving a balloon is
thermodynamically slow.
1.7 (B) If force, length, and time had been selected as the three primary dimensions, the newton would
have been selected and mass expressed in terms of the other three. But, in Thermo-dynamics,
the newton is expressed as kg·m/s2
.
1.8 (D) W = J/s = N ⋅ m/s = (kg ⋅ m/s 2
) ⋅ m/s = kg ⋅ m 2

1.11 (D) We must know if the surface is horizontal, vertical, on an angle? The surface cannot be
assumed to be horizontal just because it is drawn that way on the paper. (Sometimes problems aren’t fair. This is an example of such a problem.)

P × π × 0.052
+ 400× 0.2 = 40× 9.81. ∴ P = 39 780 N/m2 or 39.8 kPa gage
The atmospheric pressure acts down on the top and up on the bottom of the
cylinder and hence cancels out.
1.15 (B) We do not sense the actual temperature but the temperature gradient between our skin and the
water. As our skin heats up, the water feels cooler so we increase the water temperature until
it feels warm again. This is done until out skin temperature ceases to change. An object feels
cool if its temperature is less than out skin temperature. If that’s the case, a temperature
difference occurs between our skin and the object over a very small distance,
creating a temperature gradient (Tskin − Tobject ) / x .
1.16 (B) The energy equation states that at the position of maximum compression, the kinetic energy of
the vehicle will be zero and the potential energy of the spring will be maximum, that is,
1 2 1 2 2 m V = 2 Kx . (The velocity must be expressed in m/s.)

∴ K = 98.8×106 N/m or 100
= × K × 0.12
. × 2000 × MN/m
2 3600 2
If the mass is in kg, the velocity in m/s, and x in meters, K will be in N/m. But, check the units to make sure.
Get used to always using N, kg, m, and s and the units will work out. You don’t have to always check all those units. It takes time and on a multiple-choice test, there are usually problems left over when time runs out.
1.17, 1.18, and 1.19. The Internet has the answers!
1.20 True. Thermodynamics presents how energy is transferred, stored, and transformed from one
form to another. If you use it to dry your hair, power your car, or store it in a battery, we
don’t really care. Just use it any way that allows you to enjoy life!
1.21 Energy derived from coal is not sustainable since coal will eventually not be available,
even though that may take 500 years. If an energy source is not available indefinitely, it is
not sustainable.
1.22 Consult the Internet.
1.23 A large number of engineers were required when the industrial revolution occurred.
1.24 Trains were traveling the rails in the mid-1800s so mechanical engineers were needed, not
to drive the trains, but to design them! Coal was mined with a pick and shovel until the
late 1800’s. Power plants and automobiles also came near the end of the 1800’s.
1.25 It’s CO2 and it keeps things very cold. Check it out on the Internet.

1.26 i) A system, ii) a control volume, iii) a system, iv) a system. No fluid crosses the boundary of
a system. Fluid crosses the boundary of a control volume.
1.27 Before
The system and c.v. are identical
Control surface
After
The system is the air inside plus that which has exited. The c.v. extends to the exit of the balloon nozzle.

3 1.29 Catsup is not a fluid. It is a pseudo plastic or a shear-thinning liquid, whatever that is! A fluid
always moves if acted upon by a shear. A plastic can resist a shear but then moves when the
shear is sufficiently large. Catsup is like that: first it won’t move, then it suddenly comes.
1.30 From Wikipedia, 1 stone = 6.35 kg (= 14 lbm). ∴6.3 stones = 6.3× 6.35 = 40 kg
1.31 The units using Newton’s 2nd
law are simpler:
32.2 ft/s2
lbf = slug × ft
is simpler than lbf = lbm ×
s 2 32.2 ft-lbm/lbf-s 2
The conversion between mass and weight does not require the use of a gravitational constant when using the slug as the mass unit in the English system.
1.32 Volume is extensive since it increases when the mass is increased, other properties
remaining constant.

32ºF, so ice floats. If ice was heavier than water, it would freeze from the bottom up. That would be rather disastrous. Fish as well as skaters would have a problem. You can speculate as to the consequences.

This problem should demonstrate the difficulty using English units with lbm and lbf! Note that
lbm and lbf are numerically equal at sea level where g = 32.2 ft/s2
, which will be true for
problems of interest in our study. In space travel, g is not 32.2 ft/s2

1.40 Only (ii) can be considered a quasi-equilibrium process. Process (i) uses a temperature
distribution in the room to move the heated air to other locations in the room, i.e., the
temperature is not uniform. When the membrane in process (iii) is removed, a sudden
expansion occurs, which cannot be considered a quasi-equilibrium process.
1.41 From Table B-1 in the Appendix, we observe that. So,
i) SG = 1.225 kg/m3

(We used N = kg·m/s2

i) P = 206 kPa + 101 kPa = 307 kPa
ii) P = 206 kPa + 101× 0.887 kPa = 296 kPa
iii) P = 206 kPa + 101× 0.5334 kPa = 260 kPa
(We could have used Patm = 101.3 kPa or even 100 kPa since extreme accuracy is not of interest)
1.43 Refer to Fig. 1.6 and Eq. 1.14. The pressure in the tire would be P2 and P1 would be open to the
atmosphere:
