Compressed Air In a piston-cylinder device, 10 gr of air is compressed isentropically. The air is initially at 27 °C and 110 kPa. After being compressed, the air is at 450 °C. Determine (a) the final pressure in [MPa],
(b) the increase in total internal energy in [kJ], and
(c) the total work required in [kJ].
Note that for air R-287 J/kg. K and c.-716.5 J/kg. K, and ?-

(a) 2.39 MPa (b) 3.03 kJ (c) 3.035 kJ

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

A 10 gr of air is compressed isentropically

The initial air is at = 27 °C, 110 kPa

After compression air is at = a450 °C

For air,  R=287 J/kg.K

cv = 716.5 J/kg.K

y = 1.4

Now,

(a) W efind the pressure on [MPa]

Thus,

T₂/T₁ = (p₂/p₁)^r-1/r

=(450 + 273)/27 + 273) =

=(p₂/110) ^0.4/1.4

p₂ becomes  2390.3 kPa

So, p₂ = 2.39 MPa

(b) For the increase in total internal energy, is given below:

ΔU = mCv (T₂ - T₁)

=(10/100) (716.5) (450 -27)

ΔU =3030 J

ΔU =3.03 kJ

(c) The next step is to find the total work needed in kJ

ΔW = mR ( (T₂ - T₁) / k- 1

(10/100) (287) (450 -27)/1.4 -1

ΔW = 3035 J

Hence, the total work required is = 3.035 kJ

answer:

yes that is right have a good day
