Answer #1

workdone W = PdV = P (V2 - V1)

                           = 44 * 10^3 (3.1 - 3.5)

                           = 44 * 10 ^3 (- 0.4)

                           = - 17600 J

Rectangular PV Cycle A piston contains 260 moles of an ideal monatomic gas that initally has a pressure of 2.61 × 105 Pa and a volume of 4.9 m3. The piston is connected to a hot and cold reservoir and the gas goes through the following quasi-static cycle accepting energy from the hot reservoir and exhausting energy into the cold reservoir. 1. The pressure of the gas is increased to 5.61 × 105 Pa while maintaining a constant volume. 2....

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...

A cylinder if fitted with a floating piston oriented horizontally (the air is the system and by having a floating piston it maintains constant pressure). It contains 24.5 L of air at 25.0C and 1 bar pressure. The system is then heated to 250.0C. Air can be considered a diatomic gas and therefore would have a Cv = 5R/2, where R is the ideal gas constant. Also for gases Cp = Cv +R. How much work was done (in J)...

A piston-cylinder assembly containing 3 kg of an ideal gas undergoes a constant pressure process from an initial volume of 48 m3 to a final volume of 30 m3 . During the process, the piston supplies 1.2 MJ of work to the gas. The gas has a constant specific heat at constant volume of 1.80 kJ/(kg∙K) and a specific gas constant of 1.48 kJ/(kg∙K). Neglect potential and kinetic energy changes. a. Determine the initial specific volume of the gas in...

An insulated cylinder is fitted with an airtight piston that is free to slide up and down and is connected to a rod, as shown in the figure. Contained within the cylinder is an ideal gas initially at a pressure of 120 kPa and temperature of 293 K. Suddenly the piston is forced downward creating an additional 200 kPa of pressure on the gas and as a result the cylinder volume decreases to one-half of its original volume. (a) What...
