(i) A can of soft drink at room temperature is put into the refrigerator so that it will cool. Would you model the can of soft drink as a closed system or as an open system? (ii) A candle is burning in a well-insulated room. Taking the room (the air plus the candle) as the system, determine if there is any heat transfer during the burning process. Explain how?

The case of a piston-cylinder device provided with stops is presented. Initially, the water supports the weight of the piston, and the force of the atmosphere is 300 kPa and 0.4 m3/kg. The water is heated until it reaches a saturated steam condition and the plunger rests on the stops. With the piston on the stops, the water is heated to a pressure of 700 kPa. Plot the curves of the processes on the p-V and T-V diagrams indicating the initial and final states of the guide. On both the p-V and T-V diagrams plot the isotherms passing through both states, and show their values in °C.
A piston-cylinder device initially contains CO2 at 200 kPa and 400°C and the total enclosed volume is 300 litres. Due to heat loss, the piston moves downwards to a position where it sits on a pair of stoppers and its final enclosed volume is 150 litres. Further heat loss leads to the pressure being reduced to 160kPa. Workout 1) the final temperature, 2) the total work done by CO2 and 3) the total heat transferred to CO2. Also make some comments on the result of heat. 4) Create a schematic p-v diagram of the process The following assumptions are to be made: CO2 is a perfect gas and its molecular mass is 44kg/kmol. The ratio of specific heat capacities, γ (gamma) is 1.3 The volume occupied by the stoppers is to be ignored. There is no leakage in the system There is no friction between the cylinder and piston walls and the piston moved slowly at the same speed therefore, no acceleration. For the conversion from Celsius to Kelvin, use 273 Use 8314.5 J/kmol.K for the universal gas constant

A piston-cylinder assembly contains R-134a refrigerant in a volume of 0.15 m3, 0.28 MPa and 40 ° C. Initially the piston is fixed with a pin. The piston-cylinder assembly is heated from a heat source at 150 ° C and the pressure rises to 0.32 MPa. Then the pin is pulled and heat is transferred to an environment at 25 ° C, allowing the R-134a refrigerant to reach 50 ° C at constant pressure. a) Calculate the amount of heat and work transfer in processes. b) Calculate the entropy generation in processes. Comment on the conformity of the processes to the second law of thermodynamics.
2 lbm of refrigerant-134a occupy a 3 ft^3 system at 50 psia. In what state is the refrigerant present?
Thermodynamics: A rigid cylinder is filled with refrigerant-134a at 18°C. At this state, 40 percent of the mass is vapor. A valve at the bottom is opened, and refrigerant is withdrawn outside.Heat is transferred to the tank such that the temperature in the tank remains constant and the refrigerant fills the tank all the time (V1= V2). Determine the amount of heat that must be transferred by the time one-fourth of the total mass has been withdrawn. The tank volume is 0.1-m3. Clearly show work.
