Consider an experimental structure required to always have constant pressure. For this purpose, a collapsible compartment has been installed that expands and contracts to adjust the volume of air inside the structure for maintaining constant air pressure of 1 atm. Given the total volume of air inside the structure was 100,000 m' when the compartment was fully collapsed, solve the following: If a constant pressure is to be maintained while the temperature varies from 0°F to 150°F, find the volume of air that the compartment holds when it expands to the maximum. For the temperature transition mentioned above, find the change in internal energy undergone by the air in the structure. Also, find the work done by the compartment while it expands. Assume air to be an ideal gas.

Question

Consider an experimental structure required to always have constant pressure. For this purpose, a collapsible compartment has been installed that expands and contracts to adjust the volume of air inside the structure for maintaining constant air pressure of 1 atm.

Given the total volume of air inside the structure was 100,000 m' when the compartment was fully collapsed, solve the following:

  1. If a constant pressure is to be maintained while the temperature varies from 0°F to 150°F, find the volume of air that the compartment holds when it expands to the maximum.
  2. For the temperature transition mentioned above, find the change in internal energy undergone by the air in the structure.
  3. Also, find the work done by the compartment while it expands.

Assume air to be an ideal gas.
