Question

3.112 A piston-cylinder assembly contains air, initially at 2 bar,300 K, and a volume of 2 m³. The air undergoes a process to a state where the pressure is 1 bar, during which the pressure-volume relationship is pV = constant. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine the mass of the air,in kg, and the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.
