An insulated rigid tank contains air (an ideal gas) at 500 kPa and 500 K. A valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air can escape until the pressure inside the tank is dropped to 150 kPa. The air temperature during the process is maintained constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. If the volume of the tank is 5 m3, determine the work input by the electric heater to air during this process, in kJ.

3 A 40-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m³ room. Both the room and the oil in the radiator are initially at 10°C. The radiator with a rating of 2.4 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heat is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.35 kJ/s. After some time, the average temperature is measured to be 20°C for the air in the room, and 50°C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specific heat of the oil to be 950 kg/m3 and 2.2 kJ/kg-°C, respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on. Assume the room is well sealed so that there are no air leaks. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K (Table A-1). Also, c = 0.718 kJ/kg-K for air at room temperature (Table A-2).
