A gas in a piston-cylinder device is compressed, and as a result its temperature rises. is this a heat or work interaction?

2 answers:

The answer is both. The energy in the system is composed of heat and work. because of the temperature difference, the energy would be in the form of heat. Because of the force in executing the compression in the same direction, there is also work done.

Explanation:

When the gas is compressed under piston cylinder device it means that it is a closed system.And we know that in closed system only heat and work transfer can take place only ,there will be no any mass transfer between the system and surrounding.

During compression temperature of gas increases so the this may be cause on work done on the gas or maybe cause of heat supply to the gas.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

= 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

= 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.

Kobotan [32]

Any two-dimensional vector in cartesian (x,y) coordinates can be broken down into individual horizontal and vertical components using trigonometry. If a train goes up a hill with 15 degree incline at a speed of 22 m/s, the horizontal component is 22cos(15)=21.3 m/s and the vertical component is 22sin(15)=5.5 m/s.
