Question
03: Air is contained in a vertical cylinder fitted with
frictionless piston and a set of stops. The piston cross
-sectional area is (0.2 m²) and the air inside is initially
at (200 kPa, 500°C). The air is then cooled as a result
of heat transfer to the surroundings.
a) What is the temperature of the air inside the cylinder
when the piston reaches the stops?
b) The cooling is now contained until the temperature
reaches (20°C), what is the pressure at this state? Ans. [a) 113.4 °C, b) 151.7 kPa]
