Refrigerant 134a expands in a piston-cylinder assembly from p₁ = 160 lb/in2 and T₁ = 140°F to p2 = 30 lb/in² and T2 = 80°F. The mass of refrigerant is 0.44 lb. During the process, the work done by the refrigerant is 4.32 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the initial volume of the refrigerant, V₁, in ft3, and the heat transfer for the process, in Btu.

A rigid tank with a volume of 0.1 m 3 contains water at 1.6 MPa and 300 °C. The tank is heated but, in order to maintain the pressure of the tank constant, a valve allows steam to leave the tank at an average temperature and pressure of 400 °C and 1.6 MPa, respectively. Determine the amount of heat transferred by the time the water has reached a temperature of 500 °C.
The thermodynamic process of a substance when it passes through device changes in a constant pressure process. If the initial and final volumes of the substance are 0.4m3and 0.13m3respectively, what is the magnitude of work is required for this process? Is it done on or done by the system? Draw a schematic diagram,andthen plot the state/s and process, whichever is applicable in a t-sdiagram
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of the universe is constant (ΔU = q - w), while the second law states that the entropy of the universe tends to increase towards the maximum (ΔStotal = ΔSystem + ΔSsurroundings ≥0). Accordingly, assuming that the entropy change of the system is ΔS = qter / T, define the value of ΔSsurroundings in terms of q(reversible) and T.
