Thermodynamics A Piston-Cylinder system initially contains R-134a refrigerant at a temperature of 2.8 bar and 40 C, and its initial volume is 0.1 m3. First, heat is transferred to the system by keeping the piston constant and this process is continued until the pressure is 3.2 bar. the process is maintained by allowing the volume to change. At the end of this process, the temperature reaches 50C. Assuming the state changes as if balanced, calculate the following: a)He amount of heat transferred during constant pressure operation b)Show the state changes on the P-v diagram.
3.00 molesof an ideal gas expands irreversibly from a pressure of 2.4 bars to a pressure of 0.15 bars, with its initial and final temperatures both at T= 300 K. No work is done in this process (you can imagine that it is a free expansion into an evacuated space, if you wish). Compute the following features of this process. (a) The initial and final volumes, and the change in volume for the gas, DV(in L). (b) DG(in kJ)(You should compute DSas part of this evaluation.) (c) DA(in kJ)
A piston–cylinder assembly contains 2 lb of water, initially at 100 lbf/in.2 and 500°F. The water undergoes two processes in series: a constant-pressure process followed by a constant volume process. At the end of the constant-volume process, the temperature is 300°F and the water is a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture with a quality of 40%. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects.Determine the work and heat transfer for each process, all in Btu.

A piston-cylinder arrangement contains water at 110°C, 85% quality with a volume of 1 L. What is the initial mass, in grams? The system is heated, causing the 150-mm-diameter piston to rise and encounter a linear spring with k = 800 kN/m. Calculate the specific internal energy (kJ/kg) at this instant knowing that the measured volume is 1.65 L. The heating continues and compresses the spring in the process. When the piston encounters the stops, the pressure is 200 kPa. What is the temperature (in °C) and entropy (in J/K) at this point? Heating continues until the pressure reached 300 kPa. What is the volume, in L at this instant? Illustrate the process in separate P-v and T-v diagram. Note:1000 L = 1m3. Hint: Draw the FBD of the piston in each state.
