Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU = 71512440 Btu The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…

7. Gaseous CO2 is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly by a piston of mass 50 kg and having a face area of 0.01 m2. The mass of the CO2 is 4 g. The CO2 initially occupies a volume of 0.005 m3 and has a specific internal energy of 657 kJ/kg. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 100 kPa on the top of the piston. Heat transfer in the amount of 1.95 kJ occurs slowly from the CO2 to the surroundings, and the volume of the CO2 decreases to 0.0025 m3. Friction between the piston and the cylinder wall can be neglected. The local acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2. For the CO2 determine (a) the pressure, in kPa, and (b) the final specific internal energy, in kJ/kg.
