0.1 kg of air is contained in a spring-loaded piston-cylinder arrangement as shown in the
figure below. The mass of the piston is 80 kg with a diameter of 20 cm. The piston is exposed
to an atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa. Initially, the temperature of air is 300 K and the spring
just touches the top of the piston. Heat is added until the spring is compressed to 18.0 cm.
Neglect the effect of friction
between the piston and cylinder and let the spring constant to be
30 kN/m. Determine:
(a) The initial pressure of air inside the cylinder, in kPa
(b) The final temperature of air, in K
A piston–cylinder device contains 0.05 m3 of a gas initially at 200 kPa. At this state, a linear spring that has a spring constant of 150 kN/m is touching the piston but exerting no force on it. Now heat is transferred to the gas, causing the piston to rise and to compress the spring until the volume inside the cylinder doubles. If the crosssectional area of the piston is 0.25 m2 , determine (a) the final pressure inside the cylinder, (b) the total work done by the gas, and (c) the fraction of this work done against the spring to compress it.
0.5 kg of steam at 250°C is enclosed behind a piston in a cylinder at
0.9MPa. with the piston rigidly held in position, the cylinder is cooled until the
pressure is 0.7MPa. Find the condition of the steam at the lower pressure.
Calculate the change in internal energy and explain why this value represent the
quantity of heat transfer during the cooling process. If the amount of heat is now
transferred back into steam while the pressure remain constant at 0.7MPa,
determine the final condition of the steam. Take the specific heat of superheated
steam as 2kJ/kg K. (0.952, -115.7kJ, superheat temperature 231.1°C)
