A piston-cylinder device whose piston is resting on a set of stops initially contains 3kg of air at 2bar and 27°C. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 4bar is required to move it. Heat is now transferred to the air until the volume doubles. Determine the work done by the air and the total heat transferred to the air during the processes. Sketch the processes on a P-V diagram. (Do not assume constant specific heats).

A piston-cylinder device whose piston is resting on a set of stops initially contains 3kg of
air at 2bar and 27°C. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 4bar is required to
move it. Heat is now transferred to the air until the volume doubles. Determine the work
done by the air and the total heat transferred to the air during the processes. Sketch the
processes on a P-V diagram. (Do not assume constant specific heats).
