Consider the nonequilibrium process described in Problem 3.109. Determine the work done by the carbon dioxide in the cylinder during the process.
A cylinder has a thick piston initially held by a pin as shown in Fig. P3.109. The cylinder contains carbon dioxide at 200 kPa and ambient temperature of 290 K. The metal piston has a density of 8000 kg/m3 and the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The pin is now removed, allowing the piston to move and after a while the gas returns to ambient temperature. Is the piston against the stops?
