Helium contained in a cylinder at ambient conditions, 100 kPa, 20 C, is compressed in a reversible isothermal process to 600 kPa, after which the gas is expanded back to 100 kPa in a reversible adiabatic process. Calculate the net work per kilogram of helium.
A spring loaded piston cylinder contains 1.5 kg air at 160 kPa and 27 C. It is heated in a process where pressure is linear in volume, P = A + BV, to twice the initial volume where it reaches 900 K. Find the work assuming a source at 900 K.
Consider a small air pistol with a cylinder volume of 1 cm3 at 27 C, 250 kPa. The bullet acts as a piston and is released so the air expands in an adiabatic process. If the pressure should be 100 kPa as the bullet leaves the cylinder find the work done by the air.
A piston/cylinder of total 1kg steel contains 0.5 kg ammonia at 1600 kPa both masses at 120 C with minimum volume being 0.02 m<sup>3</sup>.
