A piston cylinder contains 2 lbm of air and operates at a constant pressure of 400 psia. The initial volume is 1 ft.3 and the initial temperature is 100°F. The final volume is 4 ft.3 and the final temperature is 1780°F. Determine the work and its direction (in or out) and the heat transfer and its direction, in Btu/lbm.

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...

P2-44 A piston-cylinder assembly of total mass 16 lbm is free to move within a housing. Initially the cylinder contains gas at an absolute pressure of 20 Ibf/in^2 and a volume of 0.07 ft^3 and is at rest. The piston is then moved so that the entire assembly accelerates rightward and reaches a final velocity of 7.5 ft/s. During this process, the gas is compressed to a final pressure of 35 Ibf/in^2 The process is adiabatic, and the pressure is...
