A frictionless piston-cylinder device initially contains 200L of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a. The piston is free to move and its mass is such that it maintains a pressure of 900 kPa on the refrigerant. The refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70C. Calculate the work done during this process. ANS. 5571 KJA fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80°C at a constant pressure of (a) 1 atm and (b) 3 atm.  For which case do you think the energy required will be greater?
