A piston-cylinder assembly contains a mystery substance that undergoes a series of processes. Process 1->2: Constant pressure process at 5bar from v1=.07m3/kg to v2=.12m3/kg Process 2->3: Constant volume process to saturated vapor Process 3->4: Constant temperature process to quality of 50% Process 4->5: Constant volume process to 5bar Sketch the processes on Pt, Pv, and Tv, plots. Lable the axes including property values; use closed dots to show the states, use solid lines to connect the states, add number and arrows to make clear the states numbers and process directions. Could this be considered a thermodynamic cycle? Why or why not?

Thermodynamics A Piston-Cylinder system initially contains R-134a refrigerant at a temperature of 2.8 bar and 40 C, and its initial volume is 0.1 m3. First, heat is transferred to the system by keeping the piston constant and this process is continued until the pressure is 3.2 bar. the process is maintained by allowing the volume to change. At the end of this process, the temperature reaches 50C. Assuming the state changes as if balanced, calculate the following: a)He amount of heat transferred during constant pressure operation b)Show the state changes on the P-v diagram.

Air is contained in a piston/cylinder device at an initial state where the volume is 1.7 m3, temperature is 250 K, and pressure is 454 kPa. In a portion of an engine cycle, air goes through the following two sequential processes: Process 1-2: It is heated while the system is allowed to expand at constant pressure, until the volume increases by 55%. Process 2-3: It is heated further to maintain a constant temperature while the volume increases by 55% again. To simplify this problem, you can treat air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats. a.) On your paper, draw these processes on a P-V diagram. Label states 1, 2, and 3. b.) During these two combined processes, how much heat is transferred to the air, in kJ?
