An insulated piston–cylinder device initially contains 20 L of air at 140 kPa and 27 °C. Air
is now heated for 10 min by a 100-W resistance heater placed inside the cylinder. The pressure
of air is maintained constant during this process, and the surroundings are at 27 °C and 100 kPa.
Determine the exergy destroyed during this process.

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...
