Chapter 2.8, Problem 40P
A vertical piston–cylinder device contains water and is being heated on top of a range. During the process, 65 Btu of heat is transferred to the water, and heat losses from the side walls amount to 8 Btu. The piston rises as a result of evaporation, and 5 Btu of work is done by the vapor. Determine the change in the energy of the water for this process.

A gas expands in a frictionless piston-cylinder
arrangement. The expansion process is very slow,
and is resisted by an ambient pressure of 100
kPa. During the expansion process, the pressure
of the system (gas) remains constant at 300 kPa.
The change in volume of the gas is 0.01 m3. The
maximum amount of work that could be utilized
from the above process is.
A gas contained in a vertical cylindrical tank has a volume of 11.12 m3. The gas receives a paddle work of 7.5W for 1hour. If the density of the gas at the initial state is 1.5 kg/m3, determine the specific heat gain or loss if the specific internal energy of the gas increases by 16.2kJ/kg.
A gas cylinder with interior volume 11.6 L holds compressed air at 17.4 MPa. The cylinder is joined by a hose of negligible volume to a second cylinder that’s been pumped down to vacuum. When the valve on the full cylinder is opened, the air expands to fill the entire system, all the while maintaining a constant temperature. If the energy that becomes unavailable to do work is 171.8 kJ, what’s the volume of the second cylinder (L)?
