0.1 kg of air (ideal gas) is contained in a closed, rigid tank of volume 0.04 m^3 at 500 K. A paddle wheel stirs the air and transfers energy to the air at a constant rate of 1 kW for 100s. The temperature of the air increases to 600 K.
(a) What is the final pressure of the air (kPa)
(b)Calculate the heat transfer (kJ) for the process (use a constant, average specific heat)
