A gas in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a compression process for which the relation between pressure and volume is given by pVn 5 constant. The initial volume is 0.1 m3, the final volume is 0.04 m3, and the final pressure is 2 bar. Determine the initial pressure, in bar, and the work for the process, in kJ, if (a) n 5 0, (b) n 5 1, (c) n 5 1.3.

A.) P = 2bar, W = - 12kJ

B.) P = 0.8 bar, W = - 7.3 kJ

C.) P = 0.608 bar, W = - 6.4kJ

Explanation: Given that the relation between pressure and volume is

PV^n = constant.

That is, P1V1^n = P2V2^n

P1 = P2 × ( V2/V1 )^n

If the initial volume V1 = 0.1 m3,

the final volume V2 = 0.04 m3, and

the final pressure P2 = 2 bar. 

A.) When n = 0

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

(V2/V1)^0 = 1

Therefore, P2 = P1 = 2 bar

Work = ∫ PdV = constant × dV

Work = 2 × 10^5 × [ 0.04 - 0.1 ]

Work = 200000 × - 0.06

Work = - 12000J

Work = - 12 kJ

B.) When n = 1

P1 = 2 × (0.04/0.1)^1

P1 = 2 × 0.4 = 0.8 bar

Work = ∫ PdV = constant × ∫dV/V

Work = P1V1 × ln ( V2/V1 )

Work = 0.8 ×10^5 × 0.1 × ln 0.4

Work = - 7330.3J

Work = -7.33 kJ

C.) When n = 1.3

P1 = 2 × (0.04/0.1)^1.3

P1 = 0.6077 bar

Work = ∫ PdV

Work = (P2V2 - P1V1)/ ( 1 - 1.3 )

Work = (2×10^5×0.04) - (0.608 10^5×0.1)/ ( 1 - 1.3 )

Work = (8000 - 6080)/ -0.3

Work = -1920/0.3

Work = -6400 J

Work = -6.4 kJ

answer:

d. attempt to find the owner, then leave your information if you cannot find them.

explanation:

d. represents both (b) and (c).

more logical as well.
