Two kilograms of CO2 gas is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly at a pressure of 6.5 bar and a temperature of 300 K. The piston has a mass of 5000 kg and surface area of 1m2. The friction of the piston on the walls is significant and cannot be ignored. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01325 bar. The latch holding the piston in position is suddenly removed and the gas is allowed to expand. The expansion is arrested when the volume...

A gas is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 40 in2 and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lbf/in2 on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases slowly by 2 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between the piston and cylinder can be...

Air is contained in a piston-cylinder. Initially, the 0.35 kg of air is at 2 MPa and 350°C. The air is first expanded isothermally to 500 kPa, then compressed polytropically with a polytropic exponent of 1.25 to the initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Calculate the net heat transfer during the polytropic process in kJ assuming constant specific heats at 300 K (with 3 significant figures).

A quality mixture of water is contained in a piston cylinder system at a pressure of 3 bar. The initial volume of the system is 3 m3, and saturated liquid occupies 0.3 m3. Heat is added to the system and the volume is allowed to triple before a stop is reached. The final state of the system is at pressure of 30 bar. If the external pressure is 1 bar determine the followng: (a) The amount of heat added to...

A gas in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a compression process for which the relation between pressure and volume is given by pVn = constant. The initial volume is 0.2 m3, the final volume is 0.04 m3, and the final pressure is 2 bar. For n = 1.3, determine the initial pressure, in bar, and the work for the process, in kJ.

Water in a piston-cylinder assembly is at 1 MPa, 500◦C. There are two stops, a lower one at which Vmin = 1 m3 and an upper one at Vmax = 3 m3. The piston is loaded with a mass and outside atmosphere such that it floats when the pressure is 500 kPa. This setup is now cooled to 100◦C by rejecting heat to the surroundings at 20◦C. a. Show the path of the process on T-V and P-V diagrams. b....

Water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly as shown in the Figure below, initially at 1.5 ??? and a quality of 20%, is heated at a constant pressure until the piston hits the stops. Heating then continues until the water is saturated vapor. Show the processes of the water in series on a sketch of the ?-? diagram. For the overall process of the water, evaluate the work and heat transfer, each in ??⁄??. Kinetic and potential effects are negligible. (please...

Consider an adiabatic, piston cylinder assembly containing 1 kmol of propane (C3H8) and 7 kmol of oxygen (O2). The piston is initially pinned, and the pressure is P1=1000 kPa with temperature T=1000 K. The pin is removed and the system expands until the total cylinder pressure is P2=100 kPa and the temperature is T2=600 K. Assume ideal gases and constant specific heat. Oxygen: cp=0.918 kJ/kg*K, cv=0.658 kJ/kg*K, MW=32 kmol/kg Propane: cp=1.67 kJ/kg*K, cv=1.48 kJ/kg*K, MW=44 kmol/kg Universal gas constant R=8.314...
