Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. Initially, air is at 400 kPa and 7°C. The paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 65 kJ/kg of work has been transferred to air. During this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to expand, with volume ratio = 4.3. What is the magnitude of the boundary work "kJ/kg"?

An inventor claims to have devised a process using only saturated steam at 100C which by a complicated series of steps, make heat continuously available at T of 177C. He claims further that, for every kilogram of steam taken into the process, 1800 kJ of energy as heat is liberated at this higher T of 177C. Show whether or not such a process is possible. In order to give the inventor the benefit of any doubt, assume cooling water to be available in unlimited quantity at 0C. topic: introduction to chemical engineerint thermodynamics
A heat-insulated (adiabatic) constant volume vessel divided by a metal curtain. The volume of the compartments is not equal!. Initially, one of the chambers contains 2.5 kg of compressed s-phase water at a temperature of 60 °C and a pressure of 600 kPa. The other chamber is empty (vacuum). Then the metal curtain is lifted and the water covers the entire volume. Since the final pressure is 10 kPa, calculate the volume of the container and the final temperature of the water
