1 A piston and cylinder machine containing a fluid system has a: stirring device in the cylinder. The piston is
frictionless, and it is held down against the fluid due to the atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa. The
stirring device is turned 10,000 revolutions with an average torque against the fluid of 1.275 mN. Meanwhile
the piston of 0.6 m diameter moves out 0.8 m. Find the net work transfer for the system.
2 The air in a circular cylinder (Fig) is heated until
the spring is compressed 50 mm. Find the work
done by the air on the frictionless piston. The
spring is initially unstretched, as shown.

3 Two kilograms of air experiences the three-


process cycle shown in Fig. Calculate the net
work

4 An unstretched spring is attached to a horizontal


piston. Energy is added to the gas until the
pressure in the cylinder is 400 kPa. Find the
work done by the gas on the piston. Use Patm =
75 kPa.

5 A fluid, contained in a horizontal cylinder fitted with a frictionless leakproof piston, is continuously agitated
by means of a stirrer passing through the cylinder cover. The cylinder diameter is 0.40 m. During the stirring
process lasting 10 minutes, the piston slowly moves out a distance of 0.485m against the atmosphere. The
net work done by the fluid during the process is 2 kJ. The speed of the electric motor driving the stirrer is
840 rpm. Determine the torque in the shaft and the power output of the motor.
6 At the beginning of the compression stroke of a two-cylinder internal combustion engine the air is at a
pressure of 101.325 kPa. Compression reduces the volume to 1/5 of its original volume, and the law of
compression is given by pv1.2 = constant. If the bore and stroke of each cylinder is 0.15 m and 0.25 m,
respectively, determine the power absorbed in kW by compression strokes when the engine speed is such
that each cylinder undergoes 500 compression strokes per minute.
7 A system of volume V contains a mass III of gas at pressure p and temperature T.
The macroscopic properties of the system obey the following relationship:

where a, b, and R are constants. Obtain an expression for the displacement work done by the system during

a constant-temperature expansion from volume V1 to volwne V2. Calculate the work done by a system
which contains 10 kg of this gas expand1ng from 1m3 to 10 m3 at a temperature of 293 K. Use the values a
= 15.1 x 104 Nm4 , b = 1.07 x 10-2 m3, and R g 0.278 kJ/kg-K.
8 A piston-cylinder device contains 0.05 m3 of a gas initially at 200 kPa. At this state, a linear spring having a
spring constant of 150 kN/m is touching the piston but exerting no force on it. Now heat is transferred to the
gas, causing the piston to rise and to compress the spring until the volume inside the cylinder doubles. If the
cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.25 m2, determine (a) the final pressure inside the cylinder, (b) the
total work done by the gas, and (c) the fraction of this work done against the spring to compress it.

9 A piston-cylinder device, whose piston is resting on a set of stops, initially contains 3 kg of air at 200 kPa
and 27°C. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 400 kPa is required to move it Heat is now
transferred to the air until its volume doubles. Detennine the work done by the air and the total beat
transferred to the air.
10 Estimate the work done by a gas during an unknown process. Data obtained that relates pressure and
volume are:
