QUESTION:

Air contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at \(2 \mathrm{bar}, 200 \mathrm{~K}\), and a volume of \(1 \mathrm{~L}\), undergoes a process to a final state where the pressure is 8 bar and the volume is \(2 \mathrm{~L}\). During the process, the pressure-volume relationship is linear. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.

ANSWER:

Solution 112P:

Step 1 of 5:-

Here we need to find the heat transfer and work done.

The piston-cylinder assembly contains air at a pressure of, .

Temperature of air is: .

And volume is: .

In the final state, the pressure reached to : .

And the volume increased to: .

During the process, the pressure-volume relationship is linear.

So, , where is a constant.
