I) a gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, a and b, between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1 = 10 bar, v1 = 0.1 m3 , u1 = 400 kj and p2 = 1 bar, v2 = 1.0 m3 , u2 = 200 kj: ' process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure-volume relation is pv = constant. ' process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to state 2. kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, a) sketch the process on a p-v diagram. b) evaluate the work, in kj. c) evaluate the heat transfer, in kj.(ans : qb,12 = -65.0 kj)

No matter what energy transformation we discuss, we know that no energy transfer is 100% efficient. you are about to enter a bicycle rave. you have trained extensively and eaten well to maximize your energy input throughout the bicycle race. you know that some of your kinetic energy will become wasted energy in the form of heat. what is the source of the heat energy and how can you minimize it to maximize the efficiency of your performance in the race? a) you are the source of the heat energy. you can minimize the heat energy but selecting the appropriate clothes to wear. b) air resistance is the source of he heat energy. you can minimize the air resistance by your position while riding the bicycle. c) friction is the source of the heat energy. you can minimize the friction by lubricating all appropriate parts and keeping the tires well inflated. d) kinetic energy is the source of the heat energy. you can reduce the production of heat energy but minimizing the energy you expend to race on the bicycle.
