A piston and cylinder machine containing a fluid system has a stirring device as shown. The piston is
frictionless, and itis held down against the uid due to atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa. The stirring
device is turned 9500 revolutions with an avercge torque against the fluid of 1.25 Nm, Meanwhile, the
piston of 0.65 m diameter moves out 0.6m, Find the net work transfer forthe system,

{A diesel engine piston which has an area of 45 cm? moves $ cm during part of suction stroke 300 cm’ of
fresh ait is drawn from the atmosphere. The pressure in the cylinder during suetion stroke is 0.9*10° Nim?
and the atmospheric pressure is 1.01310° Nit?. The difference between the suction and atmospheric
pressure is accounted for flow resistance in the suction pipe and inlet valve. Find the net work done during
the process.
Net work =-10.14 Nm
The properties ofa closed system change following the relation between pressure and volume as pV = 3.0,
where pis in bar and V is in m’. Calculate the work done when the pressure increases from 1.S bar to 7.5
bar.
W=-483 KS
To a closed system, 150 AJ of work is supplied. If the initial volume is 0.6 an and the pressure oF the
system changes as p = 8-4V, where p is in bar and V is in m’, determine the final volume and pressure of
the system,
