Using Energy Concepts and the Ideal Gas ModelAir contained
Chapter 3, Problem 112P(choose chapter or problem)
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.

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.
