A cylinder container is divided into two equal sections by thermally isolated, frictionless piston,as shown in the figure. One section contains water and the other air. The cylinder is isolated except the one face of the water section. Each section has an initial volume of 100 liter. The initial temperature of the air is 40 degees C and the water is 90 degrees C with steam quality of 10%.

Answers (~1.9kJ, ~1.1kJ, ~4kJ) The figure to the right shows a gas contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly. A vertical shaft with a cross- sectional area of 1.0 cm² is attached to the top of the piston. The total mass of the piston and shaft is 35 kg. While the gas is slowly heated, the internal energy of the gas increases by 0.25 kJ, the potential energy of the piston-shaft combination increases by 0.5 kJ, and a force of 1300 N is exerted on the shaft as shown in the figure.
