(e) It increases to 3 atm.arrow_forwardWhen a gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, which of the following statements is true? (a) The temperature of the gas does not change. (b) No work is done by the gas. (c) No energy is transferred to the gas by heat. (d) The internal energy of the gas does not change. (e) The pressure increases.arrow_forwardConsider the piston cylinder apparatus shown in Figure P20.81. The bottom of the cylinder contains 2.00 kg of water at just under 100.0c. The cylinder has a radius of r = 7.50 cm. The piston of mass m = 3.00 kg sits on the surface of the water. An electric heater in the cylinder base transfers energy into the water at a rate of 100 W. Assume the cylinder is much taller than shown in the figure, so we dont need to be concerned about the piston reaching the top of the cylinder. (a) Once the water begins boiling, how fast is the piston rising? Model the steam as an ideal gas. (b) After the water has completely turned to steam and the heater continues to transfer energy to the steam at the same rate, how fast is the piston rising?arrow_forward

(e) None of those statements is true.arrow_forwardA pressure versus volume (pv) diagram for a system is shown in the figure.

Circular aluminum alloy fins (k = 180 W/m·K) of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness t = 2 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 200 fins per meter length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 25°C, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of 60 W/m2·K. Determine the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins.arrow_forward
