Question: 3 . 1 1 1 ( Moran 8 t h edition ) A piston - cylinder device assembly fitted with a paddle wheel contains air,

3.111(Moran 8th edition) A piston-cylinder device
assembly fitted with a paddle wheel contains air,
initially at p1=30lbfin2,T1=540F, and V1=4ft3.
The air undergoes a process to a final state where
p2=20lbfin2,V2=4.5ft3. During the process, the
paddle wheel transfer energy to the air by work in the
amount of 1 Btu , and there is energy transfer to the air
in the device by heat in the amount of -12 Btu.
Assuming ideal gas behavior, and neglecting kinetic
and potential energy effects, determine for the air:
a) The temperature at state 2(R)
b) The energy transfer by work by the air in the piston
(Btu)
