QUESTION 2
1.2 kg of air at 22 bar occupies a 0.091 m3 cylinder. As the air is compressed isothermally and reversibly until the pressure is 39 bar, the temperature rises to 600K. The specific heat at constant volume is 0.718 kJ/kgK, the specific heat at constant pressure is 1.005 kJ/kgK, and the specific gas constant is 0.287 kJ/kgK. Calculate:
2.1. The internal energy
2.2. The change in entropy
2.3. The enthalpy
2.4. The heat rejected
2.5. The new volume occupied by 1.2 kg of air
