The volume and pressure of a gas are 7.40 m² and 2.10 atm, respectively. (a) If this gas expands to one and one-half its initial volume while the pressure is constant, determine the work done on the gas. (b) On the other hand, if this gas is compressed to two-fifths its initial volume while the pressure is constant, determine the work done on the gas.
220 kJ of heat is transferred from a reservoir at 450 °C to a reservoir at 700 °C. Can you show that whether such a process is possible or impossible?
Air is trapped in the piston in the cylinder. A spring is connected to the upper portion of the piston and returns the force upon compression by the F = -kx equation. k = 50,000 N/m and x is the distance traveled when the piston is compressed. The piston is located 10 cm above the bottom of the cylinder with a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m2 and an initial condition of 1 bar and 25°C. In this state, the spring does not apply force to the piston. At this time, the system was reversibly heated and the temperature rose to 100°C. (a) What happened was (b) What is the heat transferred?
A rigid tank of volume 0.018 m is connected through a closed valve to a vertical cylinder fitted with a freely moveable frictionless heavy piston of area 0.02 m?. Initially, the rigid tank is filled with air at 500 kPa and 25 °C while the cylinder has air of volume 0.015 m³ at 25 °C. In the vicinity, the ambient air pressure is 100 kPa and the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s. It is given that the 2 air can be assumed to behave as an ideal gas with the gas constant R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K. (a) At this initial state, determine the air pressure in the cylinder. The valve is then slowly opened and left opened, allowing the pressurised air from the rigid tank to flow gently into the cylinder, thus lifting the piston. This process continues until the piston comes to rest with the whole connected system reaching its final state of equilibrium. During this entire process, the air temperature in the rigid tank and the cylinder remains constant at 25 °C. (b) Find the mass of the air transferred…
A 752-cm sample of water was placed in a 1.00-kg aluminum pan. The inital temperature of the pan was 26°C and the final temperature of the system was 39°C. What was the initial temperature of the water?
A copper container of mass 0.080 kg and specific heat 387 Jkg-1 K-1 contains 0.30 kg of water and 0.040 kg of ice at 0˚C. Steam at 100˚C is passed into the water and its temperature stabilizes at 20.0˚C. Find the mass of the water left in the container. Assume the system is insulated from its environment.

Let's learn about a car powered by nuclear fuel! An average car consumes about 5 L of gasoline a day, and the capacity of the fuel tank of a car is about 50 L. Therefore, a car needs to be refueled once every 10 days. Also, the density of gasoline is 0.75 kg/L (in reality, it is a range of 0.68 to 0.78 kg/L), and its lower heating value is about 44,000 kJ/kg (that is, 44,000 kJ of heat is released when 1 kg of gasoline is completely burned). Suppose all the problems associated with the radioactivity and waste disposal of nuclear fuels are resolved, and a car is to be powered by U-235. If a new car comes equipped with 0.1 kg of the nuclear fuel U-235, determine if this car will ever need refueling under average driving conditions.
