Prob. 5, A fluid in a closed system expands slowly such that the pressure p varies linearly with the volume V, and the internal energy U varies with the pV product according to the relation
U=32+0.004pV
where U is in Btu,p is in lbfft2(absolute pressure), and V is in ft3. When the fluid changes from an initial state of 25psia,1ft3, to a final state of 60p sia, 2f3, what are the work and the heat transfer, in joule? (20%)
Prob. 5 , A fluid in a closed system expands
