A piston-cylinder apparatus contains 5 kg of saturated water at 55˚C. The piston’s cross sectional area is 0.04 m2, and initially is resting on stops, enclosing a volume of 0.02 m3. To raise the piston, a pressure of 500 kPa has to be applied. When the volume is 0.05 m3, the piston encounters a linear spring. To deflect the spring 1 m, a force of 400 kN is required.

A vertical piston-cylinder device contains water and is being heated. During the heating process, 70 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and heat losses from the side walls amount to 8 kJ. The piston rises as a result of evaporation, changing the volume by 0.5 m^3 . When the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm and the mass of the piston is 50 kg and its cross-sectional area is 0.05 m^2 , determine the change in the energy of...
As shown in the figure below, a gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3, undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at p 2 bar to a final volume of V2 0.2 m3, while being slowly heated through the base. The change in internal energy of the gas is 0.25 kJ. The piston and cylinder walls are fabricated from heat-resistant material, and the piston moves smoothly in the cylinder.
