QUESTION:
A mass of of air at and is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The air is now compressed to a final pressure of . During the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. Calculate the work input during this process.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Air in a cylinder is compressed at constant temperature until its pressure rises to a specified value. The boundary work done during this process is to be determined.
Assumptions are
1. The process is quasi-equilibrium.
2. Air is an ideal gas.
