Answer to Question #344011 in Engineering for Ankur

Question

a piston-cylinder device 0.5 kg of carbon dioxide is compressed from 0.3 to 0.1 m3

. During

the process, the pressure and volume is related by P = aV-2

, where a = 8 kPa.m6

. Calculate work

transfer, change in internal energy and heat transfer during the process. (Take isobaric heat

capacity, cp = 0.847 kJ/kgK).
