Question: [ 1 0 Pts ] A rigid container and a piston contains 1 L of R - 1 3 4 a at 1 0 0

[10 Pts] A rigid container and a piston contains 1 L of R-134a at 100C and 3.6 MPa . In an
isobaric quasi-equilibrium process, the gas expands to 1.2 L . The control volume has a uniform
cross section 0.5m2 and the piston can only move up and down. Ignore friction for simplicity.
(a) The critical temperature and pressure of R-134a are
374.2 K and 4.06 MPa , respectively. Is ideal gas law
reliable for this process? [2 Pts]
(b) What is the mass of R-134a in the system? [5 Pts]
(c) What is the working power during this expansion if
the piston is moving at a speed of 10cms?[3 Pts]
