Reconsider Prob. 253. Assuming a linear pressure increase during the compression, estimate the energy needed to compress
Question:
Reconsider Prob. 2–53. Assuming a linear pressure increase during the compression, estimate the energy needed to compress the water isothermally.
Data from Problem 53.
A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 10 kg of water at 20°C at atmospheric pressure. An external force F is then applied on the piston until the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 100 atm. Assuming the coefficient of compressibility of water remains unchanged during the compression; estimate the energy needed to compress the water isothermally.
