Air is trapped in a piston-cylinder assembly oriented horizontally as shown in figure.

Initiallly, p1 = 100 kPa, V1 = 2 x 10-3 m3, and the face of the piston is at x = 0. The
spring exerts no force on the piston in the initial position. The atmospheric pressure
is 100 kPa, and the area of the piston face is 0.018 m2. The air expands slowly until
its volume is V2 = 3 x 10-3 m3. During the process, the spring exerts a force on the
piston that varies with x according to F = kx, where k = 16.2 x 103 N/m. There is no
friction between the piston and the cylinder wall. Determine the final pressure
of the air, in kPa, and the work done by the air on the piston, in kJ.

A gas undergoes three processes in series that complete a cycle:

Process 1-2: compression from p1 = 10 lbf/in2, V1 = 4.0 ft3 to p2 = 50 lbf/in2
during which the pressure-volume relationship is pv = constant.
Process 2-3: constant volume to p3 = p1.
Process 3-1: constant pressure.
Sketch the processes on a p-V diagram and determine the net work for
the cycle, in Btu.

within the cylinder of a refrigeration compressor are given in the table below. Using
data from table, complete the following:
a . Estimate the work done on the refrigerant during the compression, in ft-lbf,
Why is this an estimate?

Water undergoes an isothermal process from saturated vapor at 400F to a final

specific volume of 4.5 ft3/lb. Determine the final pressure, in lb f/in2, and
sketch the process on p v and T v diagrams.

A gas undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three processes:

Process 1 - 2 : compression with pV = constant, from p1 = 1 bar, V1 = 1.6 m3 to
V2 = 0.2 m3; U2 U1 = 0
Process 2 - 3: constant pressure to V3 = V1
Process 3 - 1: constant volume, U1 U3 = -3,549 kJ
There are no significant changes in kinetic or potential energy. Determine the
heat transfer and work for Process 2-3, in kJ, and calculate the thermal
efficiency of the cycle.
