An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 0.1m3 of air (ideal gas) at 400 kPa and 25℃. A paddle wheel within the cylinder is rotated until 15 kJ of work is done on the air while the pressure is held constant.

In an Otto cycle air is compressed from an initial pressure 120 kPa and temperature 370 T (K). The cycle has compression ratio of 10. In the constant volume heat addition process 1000 kJ/kg heat is added into the air.

A piston–cylinder device contains 2 kg of air initially at 90 kPa and 30°C. The air is now compressed slowly in a process during which PV k = constant until the volume is reduced by one-half. If the exponent k characterizing the compression process is the specific heat ratio of the air for the average operating temperatures (Table A-2b), the net heat transfer for the process is expected to be zero (adiabatic). Determine the work done and show that the...
Problem 7-173- A piston–cylinder device contains air that undergoes a reversible thermodynamic cycle. Initially, air is at 400 kPa and 300 K with a volume of 0.3 m3. Air is first expanded isothermally to 150 kPa, then compressed adiabatically to the initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine the work and heat transfer for each process.
A mass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24 degrees C is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The air is now compressed to a final pressure of 600 kPa. During the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. Calculate the work input during the process.
Consider a piston-cylinder device (system) that contains 0.06 m3 of air at 300 kPa and 125 ̊C. (a) If the volume of air in the device increases to 0.15 m3 while the pressure remains constant, determine the work done by the system during the process.

One of the parameters used to describe automobile engines is the compression ratio, which is the ratio of the volume in the piston-cylinder device in the engine at time1(the maximum volume) to the volume in the piston at time 2 (the minimum volume) as shown in the figure. a) Assume that the working fluid is air, the pressure at time 1 is 95 kPa, the temperature is 295 K and the compression ratio is 8.
