Two moles of nitrogen are initially at 10 bar and 600 K (state 1) in a horizontal piston/cylinder device. They are expanded adiabatically to 1 bar (state 2). They are then heated at constant volume to 600 K (state 3). Finally, they are isothermally returned to state 1. Assume that N 2 is an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity as given on the back flap of the book. Neglect the heat capacity of the piston/cylinder device. Suppose that heat can be supplied or rejected as illustrated below. Assume each step of the process is reversible. Calculate the net work done overall.

P4.6. Steam at 400°C and 10 bar is left in an insulated 10 m^3 cylinder. The cylinder has a small leak, however. Compute the conditions of the steam after the pressure has dropped to 1 bar. What is the change in the specific entropy of the steam in the cylinder? Is this a reversible process? The mass of the cylinder is 600 kg, and its heat capacity is 0.1 cal/g-K. Solve the problem with and without considering the heat capacity...

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.

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...

It is possible to go from a given initial equilibrium state of a system to a given final equilibrium state by a number of different paths, involving different intermediate states and different amounts of heat and work. Since the internal energy of a system is a state function, its change between any two states must be independent of the path chosen. The heat and work flows are, however, path-dependent quantities and can differ on different paths between given initial and...
