H3.3 A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 2 kg of H2O initially at T1 = 300◦C and p1 = 5 bar. The device is cooled at constant pressure until the volume is ∀2 = 0.5 m3 . Assume a quasiequillibrium process which occurs slowly with no acceleration as the piston moves. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine: a. work [kJ] during process (indicate magnitude and direction) b. heat transfer [kJ] during process (indicate magnitude and direction)

1-kg water in a frictionless piston-cylinder device is initially at 250°C and 300 kPa (state 1). A total of 700 kJ of work is done ON the water in order to isothermally reduce its volume to 1/20 of its initial volume (state 2). Determine the magnitude and direction of the heat transfer involved in this process. Answer: -1147 kJ.

A piston cylinder device contains 0.15 kg of air initially at 2 MPa and 350 C. First, the air expands isothermally to a pressure of 500 kPa. Then, it is compressed polytropically back to the initial pressure (2 MPa) with a polytropic exponent of 1.2. Find the work performed or introduced by or to the air for each process. Express it both times in kJ.

A 0.2 m3 piston-cylinder initially contains 400 K air. A heavy frictionless piston maintains a pressure of 500 kPa abs. Then, a weakness in the cylinder wall blows out and creates a hole. Air escapes through the hole until the piston drops far enough to cover the hole. At that point, the volume is half the initial volume. During this process, 75 kJ of heat is transferred to the 100 kPa, 300 K surroundings. Using Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg-K and...
