A gas is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. Given: P1 = 8.5 bar V1 = 0.0362 m3 %3D P2 = 7 bar %3D *Relation between pressure and volume is PV" = constant %3D n = 1.2 m = 0.15 kg *The specific internal energy of the gas decreases by 32 kJ/kg during the process. Considering the gas as the system, with negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy, determine the heat transfer to/from the gas, in kJ. *Provide only the numerical answer. Do not type the units below. *When needed, round-off to 4 decimal places always.

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its m…
