A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains stops arranged as shown in the following figure. When the piston rests on the lower stops the volume is 0.4m3 ; when it is in contact with the upper stops the volume is 0.6m3 . If the piston is not in contact with the stops, it maintains a constant pressure of 200kPa in the cylinder. Initially, the cylinder contains air at P1=150kPa with a temperature of T1=300K. The air is then heated...

A cylinder is fitted with frictionless floating piston oriented horizontally with gravity and contained 24.5 L of air at 25oC and 1 bar. The system is then heated to 250oC. If the heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) is 5R/2, calculate the heat that added to the system when the kinetic energy, potential energy and shaft work are negligible.
* A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 30 cm2. A spring above the piston is compressed by 2.5 mm and has a spring constant, k, of 38 kN/m. a. If the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm, determine the initial pressure (P1) inside the cylinder. Heat is added to the system until the piston moves an additional 10 mm. b. How much did the...
Air contained within a vertical piston-cylinder assembly is shown in Figure 1. On its top, the 10-kg piston is attached to a spring and exposed to an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar. Initially, the bottom of the piston is at x = 0, and the spring exerts a negligible force on the piston. The valve is opened and air enters the cylinder from the supply line, causing the volume of the air within the cylinder...
(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa. If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 °C. (Use saturated water tables, steam tables, and superheated tables as necessary) a) If the piston reaches the stops, determine the temperature and pressure when the piston first touches but exerts no force...

AIR A 45-cm piston-cylinder system contains 0.65 m3 of air. At the position shown, there is no force in the spring (k = 2.5 kN/m), and the pressure and temperature are 1,100 kPa and 350 °C respectively. Heat is transferred to the air until its volume increases 30 %. Determine: a) The final temperature and pressure of the air in °C; b) the change in total internal energy of the air in kJ.
Spring 2018 Calculating work. A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light piston that moves without friction. This piston always exerts a constant, atmospheric pressure on the gas so that the pressure within the gas is constant, atmospheric pressure. 4. Sketch a plot of pressure vs. volume in this situation. To do this, you can plot points. What is the pressure of the gas when the volume is 12.0 m? 18.2 m? When 1250 kJ of heat...
