In this problem, we have a cylinder that initially contains argon gas at a specified state.
00:07
The gas is stirred while being heated and expanding isothermally.
00:11
We need to calculate the amount of heat transfer.
00:14
So we assume the cylinder is stationary and thus kinetic and potential energy changes are zero.
00:19
We also assume that the air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats.
00:23
And the compression or expansion process is quasi -equilibrium.
00:27
Now, the contents of the cylinder form a closed system.
00:30
Since no mass enters or leaves.
00:33
So the energy balance equation can be written as the energy in minus the energy out is equal to the change in energy of the system delta e.
00:46
So from this equation, we can expand it as follows.
00:51
The energy into the system is due to heat, so that's q, plus the work done by the paddle wheel...
