Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The Final Temperature is 315.25 K.

(b) The amount of mass that has entered  0.5742 Kg.

(c) The work done is 56.52 kJ.

(d) The entrophy generation is 0.0398 kJ/kgK.
