Problem:
By adding a heat quantity of 6 BTUs to a non-flowing gas at constant pressure, its volume increases from 1.6 cubic feets to 2 cubic feets and the temperature decreases by 10 degrees Fahrenheit. If mass of gas is 2 lbm and Cv = 0.2 BTU/lb.deg.F, find the pressure. (1 BTU = 778 ft.lb)
Solution:

We will apply the first principle of ...
