A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of air at 20°C with an initial volume of V1=0.1 m3, as shown in Fig. Q7. Initially, the piston rests on some stops, but it is possible for it to move within the cylinder without friction. To lift the piston and start such motion, an air pressure of 1400 kPa is required.

The piston has a cross sectional area ofA = 0.10 m^2 and the cylinder enclosing the gas has a height of h = 1.0 cm. The gas inside the piston has a temperature T = 300.K. Recall that the internal energy for an ideal gas is U= n cV,mT, where cV,m= 1.5 R is the molar heat capacity for the ideal gas. mass m = 15.3E3kg is placed on the top of the piston, but that the piston top remains rigid.

The gas system will ultimately move to a new equilibrium state. We will now characterize the final equilibrium state and the changes resulting from the process.
