Question: In a piston cylinder system, initially there is 0 . 1 5 m ^ 3 of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 3 5 0

In a piston cylinder system, initially there is 0.15 m^3 of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 350 K. The piston has a mass of 250 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0.1 m^2. The ambient pressure is 1 bar and the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s^2. Assuming that the nitrogen gas follows the Redlich-Kwong equation of state, calculate the heat transferred to the gas for the following scenarios: a) The piston is fixed at the initial level, and the final temperature and pressure are 365 K and 1.32 bar, respectively.
The piston is released and the temperature reaches 361 K. Cv'=20.8 J/mol.K Cp'=29.0 J/mol.K
