Applying the Energy Balance

As shown in Fig. P3.57, 0.1 kg of propane is contained within a piston-cylinder assembly at a constant pressure of 0.2 MPa. Energy transfer by heat occurs slowly to the propane, and the volume of the propane increases from 0.0277 m³ to 0.0307 m³. Friction between the piston and cylinder is negligible. The local atmospheric pressure and acceleration of gravity are 100 kPa and 9.81 m/s², respectively. The propane experiences no significant kinetic and potential energy effects. For the propane, determine (a) the initial and final temperatures, in °C, (b) the work, in kJ, and (c) the heat transfer, in kJ.
