An insulated piston–cylinder device initially contains 1 m3 of air at 120 kPa and 17°C. Air is now heated for 15 min by a 200-W
resistance heater placed inside the cylinder. The pressure of air is maintained constant during this process. Determine the entropy change of air, assuming: (a) constant specific heats. (b) variable specific heats.

Answer:
Q=0.95 W/m
Explanation:
Given that
Outer diameter = 0.3 m
Thermal conductivity of material
So the mean conductivity
So heat conduction through cylinder
