Step 1
For compression at constant pressure, we can use W = P(Vā - Vā), where W is work, P is pressure, Vā is initial volume, and Vā is final volume. Show moreā¦

A gas is compressed adiabatically from 200 kPa to 700 kPa. The index of compression for the gas is 1.37 and the volume decreases from 3.5 m3to 1.403 m3. How much work is done in compressing the gas

An ideal gas with γ = 1.40 occupies 8.26 L at 335 K and 79.2 kPa pressure. It's compressed adiabatically to one-third of its original volume, then cooled at constant volume back to 335K. Finally, it's allowed to expand isothermally to its original volume. How much work is done on the gas? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
