Unit Two Homework Solutions, September 9, 2010 1 A frictionless piston-cylinder device initially contains 200 L of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a. The piston is free to move, and its mass is such that it maintains a pressure of 900 kPa on the refrigerant. The refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70oC. Calculate the work done during this process. The freely-moving piston can be interpreted as giving a constant pressure process such that P1 = P2 = P = 900 kPa. For a constant

the individual participants in the survey. The equations do take into account gender plus the MEAN values of education, experience, and race.

Then 6 divided by 2 (because there are only 2 numbers) is 3. Likewise if one had 2+2+3+4=11 then 11 divided by 4 (four different numbers) the number is only 2.75
