A frictionless and leak-free piston moves up and down a cylinder whose diameter and height are 10 cm and 1 m, respectively (see the sketch). At equilibrium, the downward force on the piston, due to the atmospheric pressure (100 kPa) and the gravitational force on the mass of the piston, is equal to the magnitude of the upward force on the piston, due to the pressure of gas in the cylinder. The cylinder is filled with NH3 at 150 kPa and 20° C, which maintains the piston to its initial location of H = 80 cm. Assuming that the ideal gas law is applicable - D Pirton NH, (a) Calculate the mass of the piston. (b) Calculate the mass of NH3 in the cylinder. Use, R = 0.4882 kJ/kg.K A metal weight with a mass of 40.03 kg is now placed on the piston, which causes it to move downward in the cylinder. (c) Calculate the pressure in the cylinder and the piston location (H) if the temperature of Ammonia remains constant at 20 °C. (d) Find the temperature to which the NH3 in the cylinder must be heated in order to move the piston (with the metal weight) back to its initial position (H = 80 cm). %3!
