A piston-cylinder system contains two regions (A and B) that are separated by a partition as shown in the figure. Each region contains air and the partition separating the regions is fixed in place and has negligible mass. The partition allows heat transfer between region A and B. Region A has a block of copper with a mass of meu= 0.5 kg that is fixed to the wall. The mass of the air in region B is 0.95 kg. Initially, in state 1, the volume and pressure in region B is VBI = 0.55 m and PBI = 250 kPa, respectively. In region A the initial pressure and volume of the air is PAI = 266 kPa and VAI = 0.9 m. In state 2, the volume in region B is reduced to VB2 0.3 m' and the pressure is increased to PB2 = 520 kPa. The piston-cylinder system is surrounded with insulation to prevent heat transfer to the surroundings. Treat air as an ideal gas. Determine the work from state 1 to state 2.

Question

Determine work from state 1 to state 2.

A piston-cylinder system contains two regions (A and B) that are separated by a partition as shown
in the figure. Each region contains air and the partition separating the regions is fixed in place and
has negligible mass. The partition allows heat transfer between region A and B. Region A has a
block of copper with a mass of meu= 0.5 kg that is fixed to the wall. The mass of the air in region
B is 0.95 kg. Initially, in state 1, the volume and pressure in region B is VBI = 0.55 m and PBI =
250 kPa, respectively. In region A the initial pressure and volume of the air is PAI = 266 kPa and
VAI = 0.9 m. In state 2, the volume in region B is reduced to VB2 = 0.3 m and the pressure is
increased to PB2 = 520 kPa. The piston-cylinder system is surrounded with insulation to prevent
heat transfer to the surroundings. Treat air as an ideal gas.
Determine the work from state 1 to state 2.
