An insulated piston/cylinder device contains ideal CO2 gas at
800 kPa, 300 K, which is then compressed to 6 MPa in a reversible
adiabatic process. Determine the final temperature and the specific

1 kg of saturated steam at 1000 kPa is in a piston-cylinder and
the massless cylinder is held in place by pins. The pins are
removed and the system suddenly and adiabatically expands to 5x its
original volume before the piston hits a pair of upper pins. The
expansion takes place against an atmosphere is 60 kPa. What is the
final specific internal energy of the system? The answer will be in
kJ/kg.
A spring loaded piston cylinder contains 1.5 kg of air

now heated in a process where pressure is linear in volume, P = A +
BV, to twice the

transfer and the total
entropy generation assuming a source at 900 K. Is this a possible
process?
0.75 kg of refrigerant-134a at 120 kPa and 20°C
initially fills a piston-cylinder device. Heat is now transferred
to the refrigerant from a source at 150°C, and the piston which is

The piston cylinder contains 4 kg of saturated water
vapor with 200 kPa. The heat is rejected from the water, and the
piston moves from the stops when the pressure reaches 100 kPa. Then

the initial volume. Determine the work done and heat transfer
