Question

THANKS

A piston with a mass of 500 kg is being held in place by 0.5 kg of Oxygen in a circular cylinder of diameter of 50 cm. If the piston rests 100 cm above the bottom cylinder when the atmospheric pressure above the piston is 101 kPa, what is the temperature and pressure of the Oxygen within the piston-cylinder system? Assume Oxygen behaves as an ideal gas. A piston cylinder system containing 0.5 kg of air is compressed from a volume of 0.35 m3 to a volume of 0.1 m3. If the initial pressure was 150 kPa and the process can be modeled as a polytropic process with n = 1.35. determine the change in temperature, the change in internal energy, the work, and heat transfer. Assume air behaves as an ideal gas with constant specific heats of Cp = 1.020 kJ/kg-K and cv = 0.742 kJ/kg-K.
