Suppose that you push the piston in very suddenly, exerting a force of 2000 N. The piston moves only one millimeter, before it is stopped by an immovable barrier of some sort. How much heat has been added to the gas?

Consider a well-insulated horizontal rigid cylinder that is divided into two compartments by a piston that is free to move, but does not allow either gas to leak into the other side. Initially, one side of the piston contains 1 m3 of N2 gas at 500 kPa and 120°C while the other side contains 1 m3 of He gas at 500 kPa and 40°C. Now thermal equilibrium is established in the cylinder as a result of heat transfer through the piston. Using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the final equilibrium temperature in the cylinder. What would your answer be if the piston were not free to move?

Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 3 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 120°C. Circular aluminum alloy fins (k = 180 W/m·K) of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness t = 2 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 200 fins per meter length of the tube.
