4-59 Oxygen is heated to experience a specified temperature change. The heat transfer is to be determined for two cases.
Assumptions 1 Oxygen is an ideal gas since it is at a high temperature and low pressure relative to its critical point values
of 154.8 K and 5.08 MPa. 2 The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible, 'ke # 'pe # 0 . 3 Constant specific
heats can be used for oxygen.
Properties The specific heats of oxygen at the average temperature of (20+120)/2=70qC=343 K are cp = 0.927 kJ/kgK and
cv = 0.667 kJ/kgK (Table A-2b).
Analysis We take the oxygen as the system. This is a closed system since no mass crosses the boundaries of the system.
The energy balance for a constant-volume process can be expressed as
