A gas enclosed in an insulated 1 m3 vessel at 1 atmosphere pressure and 20 ° C is connected to another 1 m3 insulated vessel that is under vacuum at 0 ° C. When the valve connecting both vessels is opened, the gas flows from the filled vessel to the empty vessel until the pressure in both vessels is equalized. This thermodynamic process is called "free expansion of a gas", because the gas expands freely without having to push any cylinder or piston. Calculate the change of the internal energy of the gas during this process.

400 moles of an ideal monatomic gas are kept in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston. The gas is maintained at the atmospheric pressure. Heat is added to the gas. The gas consequently expands slowly from an initial volume of 10 m3 to 15 m3. (a) Draw a P-V diagram for this process.

1 kg air is contained in an INSULATED piston-cylinder device. Initially, the temperature and pressure of the gas are T = 300 K and P = 200 kPa respectively. Work is extracted from the gas until the pressure of the gas reaches to Pfinal. Calculate Pfinal according to the last digit of your student number. Students with “00” as the last digit should take Pfinal = 100 kPa and Students with “99” as the last digit should take Pfinal =...
Spring 2018 Calculating work. A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light piston that moves without friction. This piston always exerts a constant, atmospheric pressure on the gas so that the pressure within the gas is constant, atmospheric pressure. 4. Sketch a plot of pressure vs. volume in this situation. To do this, you can plot points. What is the pressure of the gas when the volume is 12.0 m? 18.2 m? When 1250 kJ of heat...

Hydrogen gas (H2) is initially at a pressure of 20 bar and temperature of 300'C (state 1), while occupying a volume of 0.5 m3 in a frictionless piston-cylinder arrangement. The gas then undergoes a reversible cycle in which it expands isothermally to a pressure of 8 bar (state 2). This is then followed by adiabatic compression to restore the pressure back to 20 bar. The cycle is then completed by a constant pressure process. Sketch the process of p-v and...
An ideal gas at a pressure of 1.90 atm is contained in a bulb of unknown volume. A stopcock is used to connect this bulb with a previously evacuated bulb that has a volume of 0.890 L as shown here.

A gas within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three processes: Process 1-2: Constant volume V1 = 2 m3, p1 = 1 bar, to p2 = 3 bar, U2 – U1 = 400 kJ. Process 2-3: Constant pressure compression to V3 = 1 m3. Process 3-1: Adiabatic expansion, with W31 = 150 kJ. There are no significant changes in kinetic or potential energy. Determine the net work for the cycle, in kJ, and the heat transfers for...
