Question: 3 . ) Air contained in a variable - load piston - cylinder with an electric heating element is initially at 2 0 0 kPa

3.) Air contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder with an electric heating element is initially at 200 kPa and
50C. The heating element is externally powered and turned on for a short duration until 150kJkg of
electrical work has been done on the system. During this process heat losses to the surroundings occur
and the internal volume expands by 55%. Determine how much heat per unit mass (kJkg) is lost to the
surroundings if the air temperature is held constant during this process?
