The work done by the vapor on the piston is nearest:

The frictionless piston shown in its initial position provides a pressure of 600 kPa in the cylinder. Energy is added until the temperature reaches 250°C.



A) 65 J

B) 55 J

C) 45 J

D) 35 J


C) 45 J
There is no work done after the piston hits the stops. To lift the piston up to the stops, the work is
W = P(V2? V1 ) = 600×? × 0.022 × 0.06 = 0.0452 kJ
