Frictionless piston-cylinder system.

Initially contains 167 L of saturated liquid Refrigerant-134a.

The piston can move freely in such that it maintains pressure at 877 kPa, an Isobaric process.

The Refrigerant-134a is heated until its temperature rises to 70 ℃

Determine:

The work was done during the process in (kJ) units?

0.75 kg of refrigerant-134a at 120 kPa and 20°C initially fills a piston-cylinder device. Heat is now transferred to the refrigerant from a source at 150°C, and the piston which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 140 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the temperature reaches 90°C.

Water, initially (state 1) a saturated liquid at 1100C, is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a process to the corresponding saturated vapor (state 2), during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder. If the change of state is brought about by heating the water as it undergoes an internally reversible process at constant pressure and temperature, determine (a) heat transfer using first law of thermodynamics in kJ/kg and (b) heat transfer using second law of thermodynamics...

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...
