Question: ( 9 - 3 ) A piston - cylinder device initially contains 2 L of air at 1 0 0 kPa and

\(9-3\)
A piston-cylinder device initially contains 2 L of air at 100 kPa and \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Air is now compressed to a final state of 600 kPa and \(150^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The useful work input is 1.2 kJ . Assuming the surroundings are at 100 kPa and \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), determine (a) the heat transferred (and direction) during this compression process, and (b) the entropy generation of this process. Hint: The atmosphere itself is pushing on the cylinder as it changes volume. That is work not accounted for by the useful work input. Ans: (a)-1.14 kJ ,(b)\(0.00345\mathrm{~kJ}/\mathrm{K}\)
