In this problem we want to find the work associated with the compression of an ideal gas. A cylinder-piston assembly contains 2 kg of air, treated as an ideal gas. The air in the cylinder is initially at 10 bar pressure and 25 C. We now push the piston and compress the air but keep the pressure at 10 bar by letting heat transfer out of the cylinder. Find the work delivered to the system when volume reaches 1/3 of the initial volume.
