Consider using the apparatus shown in Fig. 4-1(a), known as the Joule paddle wheel, to determine the specific heat at constant atmospheric pressure. The paddle wheel is driven by a slowly falling weight, and both have a temperature of 14.5°C. As a result of the work done by the 0.427 kg mass that falls 1.00 m, the temperature of 1 kg of water rises 1°C. Calculate cp.

In the piston-cylinder system shown in the figure, in the first state, the piston is located on the stoppers and the volume below it is 0.15 m3. There is 2 kg of water at a temperature of 40 oC in the cylinder. The cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.075 m2 and its mass is 35 kg. Atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and gravitational acceleration is 9.76 m/s2. Then, heat is given to the water until it becomes dry saturated water vapor. Calculate the temperature of the water when the piston starts to move over the stoppers and the work done during the whole process.

A container holds 75.2 liters of Oxygen at 271.4K and a pressure of 3.87 atmospheres. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of this gas to 296.4K, holding the volume constant? Give your answer in kJ. Treat the gas as an ideal gas. Note: It is understood that your answer is in units of kilo-Joules, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit ("kJ" in this case), you answer will be counted wrong.

A 2-kW baseboard electric resistance heater in a vacant room is turned on and kept on for 15 min. The mass of the air in the room is 75 kg, and the room is tightly sealed so that no air can leak in or out. Solve for the temperature rise of air at the end of 15 min.
Air is contained in a frictionless piston-cylinder assembly as shown below. The initial equilibrium position is subjected to atmospheric pressure of 100 KPa. The mass of piston and weight together is 200 kg. The piston has a diameter of 0.452 m. The initial temperature of the gas in the container is 800 K.
