2 kg of steam initially at 2.00 MPa and 225?C expands in a piston-cylinder assembly until the final pressure is 0.10 MPa. During the process, the temperature of steam is kept constant by keeping it in a constant temperature atmosphere at 225?C. a. What is the maximum amount of work that can be produced? What is the entropy change of steam? What is the entropy change of the universe? b. Suppose that the actual work done is 80% of the maximum work. What is the entropy change of steam in this case? What is the entropy change of the universe?

A cylinder of monatomic ideal gas is sealed in a cylinder by a piston. Initially, the gas occupies a volume of 3.00 L and the pressure is initially 105 kPa. The cylinder is placed in an oven that maintains the temperature at a constant value. 65.0 J of work is then done on the piston, compressing the gas (in other words, the gas does −65.0 J of work). The work is done very slowly so that the gas maintains a...
