Consider two systems, one at a constant temperature t and the other at a constant temperature T (t > T). Allow the two systems to
come into contact and be thermally insulated from each other but not from their surroundings. Energy will flow from system A to
system B because of

The volume and temperature of air (assumned to
be an ideal gas) in a closed vessel is 2.87 m3 and
300 K, respectively. The gauge pressure indicated
by a manometer fitted to the wall of the vessel is
0.5 bar. If the gas constant of air is R= 287 J/kgK
%3D
and the atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, the
mass of air (in kg) in the vessel is
Air is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly fitted with an
electrical resistor. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lbf/in.2 on
the top of the piston, which has a mass of 100 lb and a face area of 1 ft2.
Electric current passes through the resistor, and the volume of the air
slowly increases by 1.6 ft³ while its pressure remains constant. The mass
of the air is 0.6 lb, and its specific internal energy increases by 18 Btu/lb.
The air and piston are at rest initially and finally. The piston-cylinder
material is a ceramic composite and thus a good insulator. Friction
between the piston and cylinder wall can be ignored, and the local
acceleration of gravity is g=32.0 ft/s². Determine the heat transfer from
the resistor to the air, in Btu, for a system consisting of
the air alone
