- An insulated piston cylinder assembly initially contains 5 L of saturated liquid water at a constant pressure of 175 kPa. There is an electric heater and a mixer inside the cylinder. Then the water is mixed for 45 minutes on the one hand and heated by a heater with 8 A current flowing through it on the other hand. During this process at constant pressure, half of the liquid evaporates and 400 kJ of work is done by the mixer. Plot the potential of the electrical source on the P-v diagram.arrow_forwardIt is insulated against heat, except for a cylinder base B with a volume of 100 liters. This cylinder is divided into two chambers by a heat-tight and frictionless piston. Compartment A contains 100 kPa pressure and 20 oC air, and compartment B contains neon gas at 30 oC. Initially, the volumes of both compartments are equal. Compartment A is connected to a pipe through which air flows at 800 kPa and 20 oC. The valve is opened and closed when the pressure in the chamber reaches 800 kPa.
