Question

A polytropic process is carried out from an initial pressure of 110 kPa and volume of 5 m3 to a final volume of 2.5 m3. The polytropic index is given by 𝑛 = 1.2. The absolute value of the work done during the process is_______ kJ (round off to 2 decimal places).

Show Answer

Answer :

Correct answer is : 408.92

P1 = 110 KPa, V1 = 5 m3 , V2 = 2.5 m3, P2 = ?, W = ?

P 1 V 1 n   =   P 2 V 2 n

110   ×   5 1.2   =   P 2   ×   2.5 1.2   P2 = 252.7136 KPa

Work done during the process is

W = P 1 V 1     P 2 V 2 n     1 = 110   ×   5     252.7136   ×   2.5 1.2     1

W = - 408.92 kJ

The magnitude of Work done is 408.92 kJ
