All answers should be in Joules (For Work) and Watts (for power)
Q1. A gas in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a compression
process for which the relation between pressure and volume is given by pVn = constant. The initial volume is 0.1 m3 , the final volume is 0.04 m3 , and the final pressure is 2 bar. Determine the initial pressure, in bar, and the work for the process, in kJ, if (a) n = 0, (b) n = 1, (c) n = 1.3
Q2. A composite plane wall consists of a 60-mm-thick layer of insulation
(Ki = 0.15 W/mK) and a 85-mm-thick layer of siding (K = 0.35 W/m K). The inner temperature of the insulation is 32°C. The outer temperature of the siding is -5°C. Determine at steady state (a) the temperature at the interface of the two layers, in °C, and (b) the rate of heat transfer through the wall, in W per m² of surface area i.e Q̇ /A
