Question:

A piston-cylinder device contains 0.17 m3 of hydrogen at 450oC. It has a diameter of 50 cm. The piston (assumed weightless) is pulled by a connecting rod perpendicular to the piston surface. If the outside conditions are 100 kPa, 25oC,
(a) Determine the pull force necessary in kN to create a pressure of 60 kPa inside.
(b) The piston is now released. It oscillates back and forth and finally comes to equilibrium. Determine the pressure at that state.
