"1st law" Q_in - W_b = m*(u2 - u1) Rule: ( v_1 = v_2 ), ( W_b = 0 ), ( Q = \Delta U ).

"Given final state: superheat to T2" T2 = 80 [C] v2 = volume(Fluid$, P=P2, T=T2) u2 = intEnergy(Fluid$, P=P2, T=T2) h2 = enthalpy(Fluid$, P=P2, T=T2)

R = 0.287 [kJ/kg-K] "Air" T = 300 [K] m = 1 [kg] P1 = 100 [kPa] P2 = 500 [kPa] v1 = R T/P1 v2 = R T/P2

This is a specialized guide focused on using specifically for the Thermodynamics problem style found in Cengel’s textbooks (e.g., Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach ), with emphasis on Iso (Isentropic, Isothermal, Isobaric, Isochoric) processes.

Q_in = m*(u2 - u1) "W=0" Cengel use: Often for ideal gas (( Pv = RT )) or phase change (but constant T in two-phase region implies constant P).

v2 = v1 "Final pressure given" P2 = 500 [kPa] T2 = temperature(Fluid$, P=P2, v=v2) u2 = intEnergy(Fluid$, P=P2, v=v2)
