A gas is contained within a cylinder-piston combination. In the following five sets conditions, tell (1) whether dW= P dV or not and (2) whether the process is reversible, quasi-static or irreversible.
a) There Is no external pressure on the piston and no
friction between the piston and the cylinder wall.
b) There is no external pressure, and friction is small.
c) The piston is jerked out faster than the average molecular
speed.
d)The friction is adjusted to allow the gas to expand slowly.
e)There is no friction, but the outside pressure is adjusted so
that the gas expands slowly.

He gas is confined to a piston and cylinder with a mechanical stop that prevents the cylinder from expanding. The temperature of the gas is 298 K, the volume of gas in the cylinder is 1.20 L and its pressure is 2.15 bar. The ideal gas EOS is very accurate for He under these conditions. The mechanical stop is a nut on a threaded rod that can be turned, slowly allowing the gas in the cylinder to expand. This process...

As shown in the figure below, a gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3, undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at p 2 bar to a final volume of V2 0.2 m3, while being slowly heated through the base. The change in internal energy of the gas is 0.25 kJ. The piston and cylinder walls are fabricated from heat-resistant material, and the piston moves smoothly in the cylinder. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar. Piston-...

A horizontal piston/cylinder arrangement is placed in a constant-T bath. The piston slides in the cylinder with negligible friction, and an external force holds it in place against an initial gas pressure of 16 bar. The initial gas volume is 0.04 m^3. The external force on the piston is reduced gradually, and the gas expands isothermally as its volume doubles. If the volume of the gas is related to its pressure so that the product PV^t is constant, what is...

7.) One mole of an ideal gas is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder arrangement in an initial state T, P,V. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically and irreversibly against a constant external pressure P. until a point is reached where the internal pressure becomes equal to Po. If C for the gas is constant and equal to 1.5 R, derive an expression giving the final temperature of the gas in terms of P., V, T, and R.

A gas is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 40 in.2 and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lbf/in.2on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases by 1 ft. The change in internal energy of the gas is 2.12 Btu. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors,...
