A vessel contains 0.15 m3 of a gas at pressure 8 bar and temperature 140 °C with cp=3R and cv=2R. It is expanded adiabatically till pressure falls to 1 bar. The work done during this process is kJ. (R is gas constant)

Answer

120

Solution

= cpcv= 3R2R= 32

Adiabatic: P1V1 =P2V2

V2=V1 ( P1P2 )1/ =0.15 82/3

=0.15 4=0.6 m3

Work done by the gas: W= P1V1-P2V2 -1

= 8 105 0.15-1 105 0.60.5

= 1.2 105-0.6 1050.5=1.2 105 J

=120 kJ (the temperature 140 °C is not needed)

Answer: 120
