Agas contained in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, a and b, between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1 = 1 bar, v1 = 1 m3, u1 = 400 kj and p2 = 6 bar, v2 = 0.167 m3, u2 = 420 kj: process a: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 6 bar, followed by a constant-pressure process to state 2. process b: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure volume relation is pv = constant. kinetic and potential effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) evaluate the work, in kj, and (b) evaluate the heat transfer, in kj.

they should be similar or the same

ingenuity says that the answer is 2.7 m.

1.   what is light?

light is an electromagnetic wave visible to the human eye. 

2. what is a reflection?

the rebounding of a light ray when it hits a mirror.

3. what is the incident ray?

contacts the surface of an object.

4. what is the reflected ray?

bounces off a reflective surface.

5. what is the normal ray?

perpendicular to the surface of a mirror.

6. what is the angle of incidence?

an angle formed by the incident ray and the normal.

7. what is the angle of reflection?

an angle formed by the reflected ray and the normal.

8. what is refraction?

(bending.)

9. what is a converging lens?

bring together light rays that pass through.

10. what is a diverging lens?

spreads out light passing through.

11. focal point?

the real point where the refracted rays meet when the incident rays run parallel.
