A rigid tank of volume 0.018 m is connected through a closed valve to a vertical cylinder fittedwith a freely moveable frictionless heavy piston of area 0.02 m?. Initially, the rigid tank is filled withair at 500 kPa and 25 °C while the cylinder has air of volume 0.015 m³ at 25 °C. In the vicinity, theambient air pressure is 100 kPa and the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s. It is given that the2air can be assumed to behave as an ideal gas with the gas constant R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K.(a) At this initial state, determine the air pressure in the cylinder.The valve is then slowly opened and left opened, allowing the pressurised air from the rigid tank toflow gently into the cylinder, thus lifting the piston. This process continues until the piston comesto rest with the whole connected system reaching its final state of equilibrium. During this entireprocess, the air temperature in the rigid tank and the cylinder remains constant at 25 °C.(b) Find the mass of the air transferred from the rigid tank to the cylinder(c)Calculate the displacement of the piston during this process(d) Find the work done by the air in the connected system during the process.
