Problem
A constant-pressure piston/cylinder contains 0.5 kg air at 300 K, 400 kPa. Assume the piston/ cylinder has a total mass of 1 kg steel and is at the same temperature as the air at any time. The system is now heated to 1600 K by heat transfer.
a. Find the heat transfer using constant specific heats for air.
b. Find the heat transfer not using constant specific heats for air.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
