QUESTION:

A piston-cylinder assembly contains air, initially at \(2 \mathrm{bar}, 300 \mathrm{~K}\), and a volume of \(2 \mathrm{~m}^3\). The air undergoes a process to a state where the pressure is 1 bar, during which the pressure-volume relationship is pV= constant. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine the mass of the air, in kg, and the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.
