Question

A gas is contained in a horizontal piston-cylinder apparatus at a pressure of 350 kPa
and a volume of 0.02 m3. Determine the work done by the piston on the gas if the
cylinder volume is increased to 0.15 m3 through heating. Assume the pressure of the
gas remains constant throughout the process, and that the process is ideal.
