Question: Q 7 . Air is contained in a vertical - piston cylinder assembly fitted with an electrical resistor. The atmospheric pressure is 1 0 0

Q7. Air is contained in a vertical-piston cylinder assembly fitted with an electrical resistor. The atmospheric pressure is 100kPa and piston has a mass of 50kg and a face area 0.1m2. Electric current passes through the resistor, and the volume of air is slowly increases by 0.045m3. The mass of the air is 0.3kg and its specific energy increases by 42.2kJkg. Assume assembly (including piston) is insulated and neglect the friction between cylinder and piston, g=9.81ms2. Determine the heat transfer from the resistor to air for a system consisting the air hole.
