A fluid is confined in a cylinder by a spring loaded frictionless
piston so that the pressure in the fluid is a linear function of
volume
p = o +bI
The internal energy of the fluid is given by the following
equation
u = 34o + 3.15pI
Where u in K[ , p in kPo onJ I in mS.
Find the fluid change from an initial state of 170kPa 0.03m
3
to
a final state of 400kPa, 0.06m

with no work other than, that
done on the piston. Find the direction and magnitude of the
work and heat transfer.(Apr/May 2011)



Given Data

u = 34o + 3.15pI
Where u in K[ , p in kPo onJ I in m

.
P1 = 170kPa
V1 = 0.03m

P2 = 400kPa,
V2 = 0.06m
