Textbook Question
Chapter 8.8, Problem 1P
What final state will maximize the work output of a device?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What final state will maximize the work output of a device.
Answer to Problem 1P
The dead state will maximize the work output of a device.
Explanation of Solution
There are two conditions for any device to maximize the work output.
- The process to be performed must be reversible.
- The final state of a device in system should be a dead state.
A system is called as in the dead state when the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium with respect to its surroundings as it does not react or chemically inert with its surrounding and the system remains at similar pressure and temperature. Thus, a system is said to be has zero availability at the dead state.
Hence, a system in dead state will maximize the work output of a device.

3. Air is contained within a piston-cylinder assembly The cross sectional area of the piston is 0.01 m².
Initially the piston is at 1 bar and 25°C, 10 cm above the base of the cylinder. In this state, the spring exerts
no force on the piston. The system is then reversibly heated to 100°C. As the spring is compressed, it
exerts a force on the piston according to: F=-kx where k= 50,000 N/m and x is the displacement length from
its uncompressed position. Determine the work done.
