A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = constant. The process begins with p1 = 15 lbf/in.2, ν1 = 1.25 ft3/lb and ends with p2 = 60 lbf/in.2, ν2 = 0.5 ft3/lb. Determine (a) the volume, in ft3, occupied by the gas at states 1 and 2 and (b) the value of n.

Answer:

V1=2.5ft3

V2=1ft3

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=2.5ft3

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb=   1ft3

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51
