A 0.40-m3 insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.3 kg of air at 30°C. At this state, the piston is free to move.

Now air at 500 kPa and 70°C is allowed to enter the cylinder from a supply line until the volume increases by 50%. Using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine (a) the final temperature, (b) the amount of mass that has entered, and (d) the work done; and (d) entropy generation
