Problem 149HP

A piston/cylinder system contains 50 L air at 300°C, 100 kPa, with the piston initially on a set of stops. A total external constant force acts on the piston, so a balancing pressure inside should be 200 kPa. The cylinder is made of 2 kg steel initially at 1300°C. The system is insulated, so heat transfer occurs only between the steel cylinder and the air. The system comes to equilibrium. Find the final temperature and the entropy generation.
