During a constant pressure, nonflow (closed system) process, a gas loses 103 BTUs of heat to the surroundings while it's volume changes from 2.2 ft3 to 0.7 ft3. If the temperature of the gas decreases by 7 oF and the system contains 3.3 lbm of gas, find the absolute pressure of the system in lbf/in2. cV for this gas is 0.229 BTU/lbm-oF. (Hint: For this process, ∆U = mcV∆T even though the process is not carried out at constant volume).
State your answer to one decimal place.
I will rate you.

A system of ideal gas has an initial pressure of 114 kPa and occupies a volume of 6.00 liters. Doubling the system’s absolute temperature by means of a constant-pressure process would require an amount of work W. Instead, you decide to double the absolute temperature by carrying out two processes in sequence, a constant-pressure process followed by a constant-volume process. In this case, the total work done in the two-process sequence is W/2. Calculate the final pressure of the system....
