a) -116.0 kJ
b) -316.0 kJ
c) -216.0 kJ
d) -416.0 kJ
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Process: T = constant. For ideal gas then u2 = u1 1W2 = 1Q2 and ∫ dQ/T = 1Q2/T
1W2 = 1Q2 = mT(s2 – s1) = -mRT ln(P2/P1)

a) 60.4 kJ
b) -50.4 kJ
c) 80.4 kJ
d) -80.4 kJ
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: For the Polytropic process PVn = constant
1W2 = ∫PdV = (P2V2 – P1V1)/(1 – n )
Assuming ideal gas, PV = mRT
But mR = P1V1/T1 = 300 × 0.2/373.15 = 0.1608 kJ/K
1W2 = 0.1608(473.15 – 373.15)/(1 – 1.2) = -80.4 kJ.
