A system consisting of 3 lb of water vapor in a piston–cylinder assembly, initially at 350°F and a volume of 71.7 ft3, is expanded in a constant‐pressure process to a volume of 85.38 ft3. The system then is compressed isothermally to a final volume of 28.2 ft3. During the isothermal compression, energy transfer by work into the system is 72 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the heat transfer, in Btu, for each process.

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.
