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?

Question

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?
