Chapter 3, Problem 116P(choose chapter or problem)
A piston-cylinder assembly contains air at a pressure of \(30 \mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{in.}^2\) and a volume of \(0.75 \mathrm{ft}^3\). The air is heated at constant pressure until its volume is doubled. Assuming the ideal gas model with constant specific heat ratio, k=1.4, for the air, determine the work and heat transfer, each in Btu.
