Propulsion 2 Tutorial 1 1.

Sketch a cylinder with a piston of area A, and enclosed gas pressure p, which varies with position of piston x. Show that the work done by the gas in moving the piston from x 1 to x2 is Where dV=A dx. 2. State the First Law of Thermodynamics as may be applied to the above cylinder and piston. Sketch the relevant work and heat flow symbols on the diagram.

3. What is the meaning of 1. Isothermal process 2. Adiabatic process 3. Reversible adiabatic process

4. Show that for a reversible adiabatic process for an ideal gas ( ) ( ) ( )

5. Derive the steady flow energy equation (SFEE) ( ) ( )

6 (a) State the SFEE in terms of total enthalpy. (b) State the SFEE as a rate equation; i.e. using derivatives with respect to time.
