Question: PROBLEM 3 - ENERGY CONSERVATION For the system above and where n = 1 . 4 , if the mass of the gas / vapor

PROBLEM 3- ENERGY CONSERVATION
For the system above and where n=1.4, if the mass of the gas/vapor in the cylinder is 2.0 kg , answer the
following:
a) Write down the conservation of energy equation, and state your assumptions to simplify the equation.
b) Sketch the problem schematic and identify your system of interest.
c) What is the value of p at state 2?
d) If the vendors who sell this piston-cylinder device claim it is adiabatic (i.e., no heat transfer), where does
the work done due to compression go? How much is this work of compression?
e) Now, if the device is actually not perfectly adiabatic and you find this out by doing a measurement for
the change in internal energy of the gas/vapor inside the cylinder (you measure u=66.667kJkg for the
gas/vapor). What is the equivalent heat transfer coefficient (h,Jm2*K) if the heat is lost due to natural
convection to the ambient at 22C? The cylinder has a radius of ~~0.8m and the gas/vapor volume occupies a
length/height of ~~0.75m
