A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.3 m3 of nitrogen gas at 350 kPa and 35 ℃. An electric heater within the device is turned on and is allowed to pass a 240W for 6 minutes. Nitrogen expands at constant pressure, and a heat loss of 3000 J occurs during the process. Determine the final temperature of the nitrogen. (Average CP for Nitrogen is 1.039 kJ/kgK and molecular weight of Nitrogen is 28.01 kg/kmol.)

The cylinder in the figure(Figure 1) has a moveable piston attached to a spring. The cylinder's cross-section area is 10 cm2, it contains 0.0048 mol of gas, and the spring constant is 1500 N/m. At 21 ∘C the spring is neither compressed nor stretched. How far is the spring compressed if the gas temperature is raised to 200 ∘C? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A single stage double acting air compressor having a clearance of 4% takes in air at 14.2 Psia and 60 and compresses it to 200 Psia. If the weight of the air compressed per minute is 50 lbs. and n = 1.35, compute: a) The work required to compress the air per minute b) The piston displacement if the compressor operates at 100 RPM c) The volume of free air measured at 14.7 Psia atmospheric pressure.

A piston and cylinder device (closed system) contain 2.25 mol of
an ideal gas which
is compressed irreversibly at constant temperature from 423 K and
200 kPa to 8 bar.
The irreversible work applied for the compression is 15 % larger
than the reversible
work for the same process. Determine the entropy change of the gas,
the
surroundings and the total entropy change if the heat is rejected
from the gas to
surroundings maintained at 25 oC.

Part B: An ideal gaseous reaction (which is a hypothetical gaseous reaction that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) occurs at a constant pressure of 45.0 atm and releases 70.4 kJ of heat. Before the reaction, the volume of the system was 9.00 L . After the reaction, the volume of the system was 3.00 L .
Calculate the total internal energy change, ΔU, in kilojoules.
Part C:
An ideal gas (which is is a hypothetical gas that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) confined to a container with a massless piston at the top. (Figure 2) A massless wire is attached to the piston. When an external pressure of 2.00 atm is applied to the wire, the gas compresses from 5.40 to 2.70 L . When the external pressure is increased to 2.50 atm, the gas further compresses from 2.70 to 2.16 L .
In a separate experiment with the same initial conditions, a pressure of 2.50 atm was applied to the ideal gas, decreasing its volume from 5.40 to 2.16 L in one step.
