1-ft3 of air is contained in a spring-loaded piston-cylinder device. The spring constant is 6 lbf/in, and thepiston diameter is 12 in. When no force is exerted by the spring on the piston, the state of the air is 250 psiaand 450◦F. This device is now cooled until the volume is one-third its original size. Determine the changein the specific internal energy and enthalpy of the air.
