- A metal cylinder is filled with a room temperature perfect gas at 1 atm of pressure; upon pulling on the piston the gas is expanded. The gas of course initially cools, but then warms back to room temperature since it is in a non-insulating metal cylinder.a. What is the net ΔU and why? b. While still pulling on the piston after it warmed to room temperature, I wrap it in insulating glass wool to make the system adiabatic. Then I suddenly stop pulling on it. As no heat can be exchanged with the outside, tell me if the the piston will expand, compress, or stay the same and why?arrow_forwardb) For an Otto Engine the temperature at the end of combustion is 280 K. If the temperature in the gas side and coolant side of the wall are 177 °C and 127 °C and cylinder wall thickness is 5 mm;arrow_forwardsolve using Thermodynamic tablesarrow_forward
- Q1: If a calorimeter is not assumed to be adiabatic, how would one calculate the heat transfer? Guide Questions: What are the parameters to be considered and the equations to be used? What law of thermodynamics does this transfer of heat to the surroundings touch? Is an adiabatic system automatically considered as a closed system? Please help me understand by also attaching a reference/book/journal article. This would help me in my essay.
