Hi can you please help with this thermodynamics question? Please be very clear with the formulas used since I am new at this section. A well-insulated piston-cylinder, fitted with a paddle wheel, contains air, an ideal gas. Initially,the piston is locked in place and the air is at 300 K and 300 kPa. The paddle wheel is turned severaltimes and then the piston is released. The piston expands rapidly (i.e., not in a quasi-equilibriummanner) and eventually comes to rest at a new equilibrium position. The air pressure is 300 kPain this new equilibrium position and its volume is measured to have doubled. Answer thefollowing questions accounting for the variability of specific heat with temperature.a) What is the net work done by the system during this process, per unit mass of air in thesystem?b) What is the change in specific entropy of the air during this process?

Wp = -301.5 kJ/kg.k change in entropy = 0.7 kJ/kg.kExplanation:Approach to solving the question:…

A piston-cylinder device contains an ideal gas of nitrogen. At the initial state, the volume is V1= 1.00 m3, the pressure is p1= 400.00 kPa, the temperature is T1= 300.00 K. An electric heater within the device is turned on for a time of Δt = 5.00 min. The current is I = 3.00 A, and the source voltage is V = 120.00 V. During the heating process, the gas expands, and a heat loss of Qout = 2.80 kJ occurs. The gas constant is R = 0.297 kPa·m3/(kg·K), and the room temperature specific heat at constant pressure is cp =1.039 kJ/(kg·K). Calculate the electrical work done on the gas, Wele__________ (kJ)
Two vessels A and B of different sizes are connected by a pipe with a valve. Vessel A contains 142 L of air at 2,767.92 kPa, 93.330C. Vessel B, of unknown volume, contains air at 68.95 kPa, 4.440C. The valve is opened and, when the properties have been determined, it is found that pm = 1378.96 kPa, tm = 43.330C. What is the volume of vessel B?
A Piston-Cylinder system initially contains R-134a refrigerant at a temperature of 2.8 bar and 40°C and an initial volume of 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 then maintained by allowing the volume to change while the pressure is kept constant. At the end of this process, the temperature reaches 50°C. Assuming the state changes as if they are balanced,calculate;a) The mass of R-134a refrigerant in the system,b) The amount of heat transferred during the fixed volume process,c) The amount of heat transferred during constant pressure operation.d) Show the state changes on the P-v diagram.
