D = 0.025 D* [m] = [0.025 m / in] - [in]
L = 0.025 L* [m] = [0.025 m / in] - [in]

Q = t Ap D

1.
a). A constant pressure process
W = - } P dV = - P AV = - 100 kPa x (0.08 - 0.04) m

= - 4 kJ

b). A constant temperature process
W = - } P dV = - } RT/V dV = - RT ln V = -PV ln V
W = = 100 kPa x 0.04 m

3. A reversible cycle of a work-producing machine is represented by a circle of 5 cm diameter on a
P-V diagram. The pressure and specific volume scales are
P-scale: 1 cm = 200 kPa and V-scale: 1 cm = 1.2 m
