Question: The piston cylinder shown below is filled will air. Initially it has q , m 3 of air at 5 0 0 kPa and 4

The piston cylinder shown below is filled will air. Initially it has q,m3 of air at 500 kPa and 417 C . The valve is opened for 5.2 mins and the final volume is 0.5m3 while keeping at the same temperature. The final pressure is 400 kPa . Using constant specific heats, determine a) the mass flow rate of the air as it leaves and b) The flow work knowing that we don't know the process path that occurred during this process (can't find boundary work directly). Start with general mass and energy balance.
