Problem *3.37

A closed system containing a gas undergoes a cycle composed of three processes.


The system's initial state is at 14.7 psia, 53.0 ft', anq an internal energy of 540 Btu.
The gas is compressed according to pV = C until the pressure is 290 psia and the
internal energy is 723 Btu. The next process is constant volume and the heat loss is
160 Btu. In the final process returning the system to the initial state the work is
41300 ft-lbf. Determine the heat transfer for first and last processes.

Given: A gas undergoes a 3-process cycle. The processes are given as well as
information about the heat and work for the processes.

Find: The heat transfer in process 1-2 and process 3-1.

Assumptions: 1) The system is closed.

2) Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energies.

Analysis: Calculate the heat transfer for process 1-2. From the first law

a = au + aKE + ME + w
