This document provides information about thermodynamics processes for ideal gases, including isometric and isobaric processes. For an isometric (constant volume) process example, 20 BTU is added to 5 lbm of gas at constant volume. The final temperature is calculated to be 103.76°F. For an isobaric (constant pressure) process example, 300 BTU is added to 3 lbm of gas at constant pressure. The final temperature is calculated to be 919.193°F. The document also provides equations and definitions for key thermodynamic variables like internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and work.

Entropy (S) – a change of which measures the degree of heat transferred from one equilibrium state to
another. Often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Entropy (S) - unit : kJ/ K


Specific Entropy (s) – unit : kJ/kg. K

ΔS = m Cv ln (T2/T1) + m R ln (V2/V1)
ΔS = m Cp ln (T2/T1) - m R ln (P2/P1)
ΔS = m Cp ln (V2/V1) + m Cv ln (P2/P1)

Where : R = gas constant (KJ/kgm.K)


Cv = specific heat at constant volume in KJ/kg.K
Cp = specific heat at constant pressure in KJ/kg.K

Solution : Heat in BTU if the mass of air is 5 lb.

Q = m Cn ΔT
Where: Cn= Cv [k−n / 1−n] , k air = 1.4 and Cv air =0.1714 BTU/lbm⋅∘R
Cn= 0.1714 BTU/lbm⋅∘R [1.4−1.3 / 1−1.3] = -0.05713 BTU/lbm⋅∘R
Q = m Cn ΔT
Q = (5 lbm)(-0.05713 BTU/lbm⋅∘R) (477.427 °R - 760 °R)
Q = 80.717 BTU (Answer)
