Shows a new process in which 0.0100 kg of methane (an ideal gas) is compressed from a pressure of 0.100 MPa and a temperature of 20.0 °C to a pressure of 10.0 MPa in a polytropic process with n = 1.35. Determine the moving boundary work required.
Determine the work required in Example 4.5 if the final pressure of the methane is 0.500 MPa.
If the work required in Example 4.5 is ?5.00 kJ, determine the final temperature and pressure of the methane.
If the gas used in Example 4.5 were air, determine the work required to compress it polytropically from 14.7 psia, 70.0°F to 150.°F with n = 1.33.
