A spring loaded piston cylinder contains 1.5 kg of air at 27°C and 160 kPa. It is
now heated in a process where pressure is linear in volume, P = A + BV, to twice the
initial volume where it reaches 900 K. Find the work, the heat transfer and the total
entropy generation assuming a source at 900 K. Is this a possible process?

(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa. If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 C. (Use saturated water tables, steam tables, and superheated tables as necessary) a) If the piston reaches the stops, determine the temperature and pressure when the piston first touches but exerts no force...

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.

Thermodynamic In a piston-cylinder air at 100 kPa and 15°C undergoes the following cycle. First, it is compressed isentropically to a compression ratio of 20. Then 1800 kJ/kg of heat is transferred to the air at constant pressure. Afterwards the air expands isentropically. In the last step, heat is removed at constant volume until the air reaches its original state. Assuming air behaves as an ideal gas and with Cp and Cv independent of temperature, determine the: (a) pressure and...
