Question
Work of 2.5 Btu must be delivered on a rod from a pneumatic piston/cylinder where the air pressure is limited to 75 psia. What diameter cylinder should I have to restrict the rod motion to maximum 2 ft?

A work of $2.5 \mathrm{kJ}$ must be delivered on a rod from a pneumatic piston/cylinder where the air pressure is limited to 500 kPa. What diameter cylinder should I have to restrict the rod motion to maximum $0.5 \mathrm{m} ?$
Two hydraulic cylinders maintain a pressure of 175 psia. One has a cross-sectional area of $0.1 \mathrm{ft}^{2},$ the other $0.3 \mathrm{ft}^{2}$. To deliver a work of $1 \mathrm{Btu}$ to the piston, how large a displacement $(V)$ and piston motion $(H)$ are needed for each cylinder? Neglect $P_{\text {atm }}$.
A piston-cylinder device contains $3 \mathrm{ft}^{3}$ of air at 60 psia and $150^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. Heat is transferred to the air in the amount of 40 Btu as the air expands isothermally. Determine the amount of boundary work done during this process.
