Question: Problem 1 ( Energy balance for closed system ) An unknown ideal gas is contained in a vertical piston - cylinder assembly by a piston

Problem 1(Energy balance for closed system)
An unknown ideal gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston of mass 40
kg and having a facial area of 0.02m2. The mass of the gas is 2.5 g , and it initially occupies a
volume of 5 liters. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 100 kPa on the top of the piston. 2 kJ of
energy is slowly transferred to the gas via heat transfer from a hot plate, and the (absolute)
temperature of the gas increases by 30%. Neglecting friction between the piston and the
cylinder wall, determine the change in specific internal energy of the gas, in kJkg.
