Consider the insulated piston-cylinder device shown in the figure below. The cylinder has a piston restrained by a spring and initially contains 0.8 m³ of air at 100 kPa and 25°C. Now, the air in the device is heated for 1 hour by a resistance heater placed inside the cylinder, causing the piston to rise. If the pressure varies linearly with volume until a final pressure of 300 kPa and a final volume of 1.2 m³ is reached, (a) determine the final temperature, (b) determine the power of the electrical resistance and (c) show the process path of air on P-v and T-v diagrams. Assume that the specific heats vary with temperature. Air ww

Question
Consider the insulated piston-cylinder device shown in the figure below. The cylinder has a
piston restrained by a spring and initially contains 0.8 m³ of air at 100 kPa and 25°C. Now,
the air in the device is heated for 1 hour by a resistance heater placed inside the cylinder,
causing the piston to rise. If the pressure varies linearly with volume until a final pressure of
300 kPa and a final volume of 1.2 m³ is reached,
(a) determine the final temperature,
(b) determine the power of the electrical resistance and
(c) show the process path of air on P-v and T-v diagrams.
Assume that the specific heats vary with temperature.
