Two kg of air experiences the three-process cycle shown.
Calculate the net work. The frictionless piston shown has a mass of 12 kg. Heat is added until the temperature reaches 350C. If the initial quality is 15%, find (a) the initial pressure, (b) the mass of water, (c)the quality when the piston hits the stops, (d) the final pressure, and (e) the work done on the piston. Ten g of air is contained in the cylinder shown. The air is heated until the piston raises 40 mm. The spring just touches the piston initially. Calculate the (a) temperature when the piston leaves the stops and (b) work done by the air on the piston. An unstretched spring is attached to a horizontal piston. Energy is added to the gas until the pressure in the cylinder is 500 kPa. Find the work done by the gas on the piston. Use Patm=95kPa. A 60ft diameter balloon is to be filled with helium from a pressurized tank. The balloon is initially empty (r=0) at an elevation where the atmospheric pressure is 12 psia. Determine the work done by the helium while the balloon is being filled. The pressure varies with radius according to P=0.04(r-30)2 + 12 where P is in psi.
