Then;
Ex. 1] A saturated vapor at 0.30-MPaa is heated in a piston-cylinder device without changing
the pressure until the temperature becomes . If the mass of steam is 0.75-kg, determine (a)
work done and (b) the heat added during the process.
Ex. 2] During a reversible non-flow process, the pressure increases from 345-kPaa to 1380-
kPaa, and the internal energy increases at 22.5 kJ; the initial volume is 100-liters. Determine
the work done and the heat transfer if the process is in accordance with (a) and (b) .
Ex. 3] The work and heat per degree change of temperature for a system executing a non-flow
process are given by and , respectively. Determine the change of internal energy for the system
as its temperature increases from to .
Ex. 4] A closed system executes a series of processes for which two of the three quantities,
are given for each process. Find the value of the unknown quantity in each case.

Ex. 5] A piston-cylinder device contains gas initially at 550 psia with a volume of . The gas is
compressed during a process where to a pressure of 1235 psia. The heat transfer from the gas
is 3.0 Btu. Determine the change in internal energy.
