A piston–cylinder assembly contains propane, initially at 27°C, 1 bar, and a volume of 0.1 m3. The propane undergoes a process to a final pressure of 4 bar, during which the pressure–volume relationship is pV1.1 = constant. For the propane, evaluate the work and heat transfer, each in kJ. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.

Consider a piston cylinder device with a volume of 0.04 m3 and initially contains air at 293 K and 1 bar.

Consider a piston cylinder device with a volume of 0.04 m3 and initially contains air at 293 K and 1 bar. It is desired to reverse the cycle and use it as a refrigerator. In this case the process would begin with PV1.36 = constant process from an initial state of 293 K and a pressure of 10 Bars. The gas is allowed to expand to a volume 3.5 times the volume of state 1. It then follows a...

A cylinder fitted with a piston has an initial volume of 0.1 m3 and contains nitrogen at 150 kPa, 25 0C. The piston is moved, compressing the nitrogen until the pressure is 1 MPa and the temperature is 150 0C. During this compression process heat is transferred from the nitrogen, and the work done on the nitrogen is 20 kJ. Determine the amount of this heat transfer.

A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 oC. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the piston until the air reaches to 0.1 m3 and 1,000 oC, in which the air undergoes a polytropic process (PVn = const). Assume that heat loss from the cylinder, friction of piston, kinetic and potential effects are negligible. 1) Determine the polytropic constant n. 2) Determine the work transfer in kJ for this...
