∴ ∆U = 3.64 (100 × 10^3 × 0.906 – 500 × 10^3 × 0.25) J [Q 1 Pa = 1 N/m^2 ]
= 3.64 × 10^5 (0.906 – 5 × 0.25) J
= – 3.64 × 10^5 × 0.344 J = – 125.2 kJ
i.e., ∆U = – 125.2 kJ. (Ans.)

- kJ= 137.6 kJ
∴ Q = ∆U + W
= – 125.2 + 137.6 = 12.4 kJ
i.e., Q = 12.4 kJ. (Ans.)
(ii) Here Q = 32 kJ
Since the end states are the same, ∆U would remain the same as in (i)
∴ W = Q – ∆U = 32 – (– 125.2)
= 157.2 kJ. (Ans.)
(iii) The work in (ii) is not equal to ∫ p dV since the process is not quasi-static.
+Example 4.18. The properties of a system, during a reversible constant pressure non-
flow process at p = 1.6 bar, changed from v 1 = 0.3 m^3 /kg, T 1 = 20°C to v 2 = 0.55 m^3 /kg, T 2 = 260°C.

Determine : (i) Heat added/kg ; (ii) Work done/kg ;
(iii)Change in internal energy/kg ; (iv)Change in enthalpy/kg.
Solution. Initial volume, v 1 = 0.3 m^3 /kg
Initial temperature, T 1 = 20°C
Final volume, v 2 = 0.55 m^3 /kg
Final temperature, T 2 = 260°C
Constant pressure, p = 1.6 bar
