Sure! Let’s solve the problem step-by-step.
---
# **Step 1: Understanding the Problem**
- **Initial state:**
- Mass, \( m_1 = 1.2 \) kg
- Pressure, \( P_1 = 700 \) kPa
- Temperature, \( T_1 = 200^\circ C = 473.15 \) K
- **Final state:**
- Pressure drops to \( P_2 = 600 \) kPa (because piston starts to move at this pressure)
- Volume decreases to 80% of initial (\( V_2 = 0.8 V_1 \))
- Heat lost \( Q = -40 \) kJ (heat leaves the gas, so it's negative)
- **Exit temperature** is average of initial and final: \( T_{\text{exit}} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \)
- **Air properties:**
- \( C_p = 1.02 \) kJ/kg·K, \( C_v = 0.733 \) kJ/kg·K, \( R = C_p - C_v = 0.287 \) kJ/kg·K
---
# **Step 2: Initial Volume Calculation**
Use the ideal gas law for initial state:
\[
P_1 V_1 = m_1 R T_1
\]
\[
V_1 = \frac{m_1 R T_1}{P_1}
= \frac{1.2 \times 0.287 \times 473.15}{700}
\]
\[
V_1 = \frac{162.972}{700} = 0.233 \text{ m}^3
\]
\[
V_2 = 0.8 V_1 = 0.8 \times 0.233 = 0.186 \text{ m}^3
\]
---
# **Step 3: Energy (First Law) Analysis**
**Control mass:** The air remaining in the cylinder.
**Control volume:** The cylinder.
First Law for unsteady flow with mass leaving (neglecting kinetic and potential energy):
\[
Q - W = (m_2 u_2 - m_1 u_1) + m_e h_e
\]
- \( Q \) = Heat lost (negative)
- \( W \) = Boundary work (to be found)
- \( m_1, m_2 \) = Initial and final mass in cylinder
- \( u_1, u_2 \) = Initial and final specific internal energy
- \( m_e \) = Mass that escaped
- \( h_e \) = Enthalpy of escaping air
Where:
- \( u = C_v T \)
- \( h = C_p T \)
---
## **Let’s Find \( m_2 \) in Terms of \( T_2 \):**
From ideal gas law at final state:
\[
P_2 V_2 = m_2 R T_2
\]
\[
m_2 = \frac{P_2 V_2}{R T_2}
= \frac{600 \times 0.186}{0.287 \times T_2}
= \frac{111.6}{0.287 T_2}
\]
---
## **Let’s Find \( m_e \) in Terms of \( T_2 \):**
\[
m_e = m_1 - m_2
\]
---
## **Exit Temperature:**
\[
T_e = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2}
\]
---
# **Step 4: Apply the First Law**
Plug in all expressions:
\[
Q - W = [m_2 u_2 - m_1 u_1] + m_e h_e
\]
\[
Q - W = [m_2 (C_v T_2) - m_1 (C_v T_1)] + (m_1 - m_2) [C_p T_e]
\]
\[
-40 - W = [m_2 C_v T_2 - m_1 C_v T_1] + (m_1 - m_2) C_p \left(\frac{T_1 + T_2}{2}\right)
\]
---
# **Step 5: Work Done (\(W\))**
Work is done only when piston moves (i.e., when pressure is 600 kPa).
\[
W = P_2 (V_1 - V_2) = 600 \times (0.233 - 0.186) = 600 \times 0.047 = 28.2 \text{ kJ}
\]
---
# **Step 6: Plug Numbers and Solve for \( T_2 \)**
Let’s substitute all values (all energy units in kJ):
- \( C_v = 0.733 \) kJ/kg·K
- \( C_p = 1.02 \) kJ/kg·K
- \( m_1 = 1.2 \)
- \( T_1 = 473.15 \) K
- \( Q = -40 \) kJ
- \( W = 28.2 \) kJ
- \( m_2 = \frac{111.6}{0.287 T_2} \)
- \( m_e = 1.2 - m_2 \)
- \( T_e = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \)
Plug into the First Law:
\[
-40 - 28.2 = [m_2 (0.733) T_2 - 1.2 (0.733) \times 473.15] + (1.2 - m_2) \cdot 1.02 \cdot \left(\frac{473.15 + T_2}{2}\right)
\]
Calculate \( 1.2 \times 0.733 \times 473.15 = 415.38 \) kJ
So:
\[
-68.2 = [0.733 m_2 T_2 - 415.38] + (1.2 - m_2) \cdot 1.02 \cdot \frac{473.15 + T_2}{2}
\]
Let’s write \( m_2 = \frac{111.6}{0.287 T_2} \):
Now expand and collect terms (let’s denote \( x = T_2 \) for simplicity):
\[
-68.2 = 0.733 m_2 x - 415.38 + 1.02 \cdot \frac{1.2 - m_2}{2} (473.15 + x)
\]
\[
-68.2 + 415.38 = 0.733 m_2 x + 0.61(1.2 - m_2)(473.15 + x)
\]
\[
347.18 = 0.733 m_2 x + 0.61 \times 1.2 \times (473.15 + x) - 0.61 m_2 (473.15 + x)
\]
\[
347.18 = 0.733 m_2 x + 0.732(473.15 + x) - 0.61 m_2 (473.15 + x)
\]
Expand:
\[
347.18 = 0.733 m_2 x + 346.11 + 0.732 x - 0.61 m_2 \times 473.15 - 0.61 m_2 x
\]
Combine like terms:
\[
347.18 - 346.11 = [0.733 m_2 x - 0.61 m_2 x] + 0.732 x - 0.61 m_2 \times 473.15
\]
\[
1.07 = (0.123 m_2 x) + 0.732 x - 0.61 \times 473.15 \times m_2
\]
Now plug \( m_2 = \frac{111.6}{0.287 x} \):
- \( 0.123 m_2 x = 0.123 \times \frac{111.6}{0.287 x} \times x = 0.123 \times \frac{111.6}{0.287} \)
- \( 0.61 \times 473.15 \times m_2 = 0.61 \times 473.15 \times \frac{111.6}{0.287 x} \)
Calculate constants:
- \( 0.123 \times \frac{111.6}{0.287} = 47.86 \)
- \( 0.61 \times 473.15 = 288.62 \)
- \( 288.62 \times \frac{111.6}{0.287} = 112,188 \)
So,
\[
1.07 = 47.86 + 0.732 x - \frac{112,188}{x}
\]
So,
\[
1.07 - 47.86 = 0.732 x - \frac{112,188}{x}
\]
\[
-46.79 = 0.732 x - \frac{112,188}{x}
\]
\[
0.732 x - \frac{112,188}{x} + 46.79 = 0
\]
---
# **Step 7: Solve for \( T_2 \) Numerically**
Let’s solve this equation:
\[
0.732 x + 46.79 = \frac{112,188}{x}
\]
\[
0.732 x^2 + 46.79 x = 112,188
\]
\[
0.732 x^2 + 46.79 x - 112,188 = 0
\]
Use quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-46.79 \pm \sqrt{(46.79)^2 - 4 \times 0.732 \times (-112,188)}}{2 \times 0.732}
\]
Calculate discriminant:
\[
(46.79)^2 = 2,190.71
\]
\[
4 \times 0.732 \times 112,188 = 328,372
\]
\[
2,190.71 + 328,372 = 330,563
\]
\[
\sqrt{330,563} = 575.01
\]
So,
\[
x = \frac{-46.79 + 575.01}{1.464}
= \frac{528.22}{1.464}
= 360.8 \text{ K}
\]
(negative root will be negative, so ignore)

## **Final Answers**
### **a) Final temperature, \( T_2 \):**
\[
\boxed{T_2 = 361 \text{ K} \approx 88^\circ C}
\]

### **b) Mass that escaped**
\[
m_2 = \frac{111.6}{0.287 \times 360.8} = \frac{111.6}{103.34} = 1.08 \text{ kg}
\]
\[
m_e = m_1 - m_2 = 1.2 - 1.08 = 0.12 \text{ kg}
\]

### **d) Sketch the Process on \( P-v \) and \( T-v \) Diagrams**
#### **P-v diagram**
- **State 1:** \( P_1 = 700 \) kPa, \( v_1 = V_1/m_1 = 0.233/1.2 = 0.194 \) m³/kg
- **State 2:** \( P_2 = 600 \) kPa, \( v_2 = V_2/m_2 = 0.186/1.08 = 0.172 \) m³/kg
Draw a horizontal line at \( P=700 \) kPa as volume decreases with constant pressure, then a drop to 600 kPa at constant pressure.
#### **T-v diagram**
- **State 1:** \( T_1 = 473.15 \) K, \( v_1 = 0.194 \) m³/kg
- **State 2:** \( T_2 = 360.8 \) K, \( v_2 = 0.172 \) m³/kg
Draw a line connecting these two points.
