A piston-cylinder system initially has a pressure of 100 psi and temperature of 1300 R, as shown
in the Figure below. The gas is then expanded in a polytropic process and reaches a final pressure
of 50 psi. If the gas trapped in the cylinder is nitrogen and n=1.2 for the polytropic process, find
a. The final temperature in °R
b. The specific work in Btu/lb
c. The specific heat transfer in Btu/lb
Assume that nitrogen is an ideal gas and it has a molar mass of 28 lb/lbmol.
