A reciprocating compressor is a device that compresses air by a back-and-forth straight-line motion, like a piston in a cylinder. Consider a reciprocating compressor running at 150 rpm. During a compression stroke, 1.00 mol of air is compressed. The initial temperature of the air is 390 K, the engine of the compressor is supplying 7.5 kW of power to compress the air, and heat is being removed at the rate of 1.5 kW. Calculate the temperature change per compression stroke.

The cylinder's volume is initially 6.00 L, when a force on the piston of F = 19.0 kN pushes the piston downward a distance d = 0.140 m, until the volume of the cylinder is 3.00 L. The process occurs while the cylinder is in thermal contact with a large energy reservoir at a temperature of 295 K.
(a)How much work (in kJ) is done on the gas by the piston during the process?
(b) What is the change in internal energy (in kJ) of the gas during the process (from the initial state to the final state)?
(c) What is the energy transfer (in kJ) by the gas as heat during the process? (Treat the gas as the system and let the sign of your answer indicate the direction of energy flow.)
(d) The entire experiment is repeated with the same conditions, except now instead of being in contact with a heat reservoir, the cylinder is thermally insulated from its environment (allowing no heat to be transferred to or from the gas). In this case, what happens to the temperature of the gas during the…
A turbine designed for an output of 100 MW receives superheated steam with the following
conditions; hi = 3550 kJ/kg, v1 = 40 m/s, h2 = 1356 kJ/kg, v2= 125 m/s. Assume no heat loss,
determine the desired mass flow rate of the steam (kg/s).
A gas trapped in a piston chamber expands by 0.141 m3 at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm. If 4.28 kJ of heat are also added to the gas, by how much does the internal energy of the gas change?
