A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of air at 20°C with an initial volume of V1=0.1 m3, as shown in Fig. Q7. Initially, the piston rests on some stops, but it is possible for it to move within the cylinder without friction. To lift the piston and start such motion, an air pressure of 1400 kPa is required. Now, heat is transferred to the system so that the temperature of the air reaches to a final value of 300°C. Fig. Q7 A. Which statement is true? The air can lift the piston before the temperature reaches to 300°C The air cannot lift the piston before the temperature reaches to 300°C
