Question

Determine initial pressure, in bar, and the work for the process

A gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a compression process for which the relation between pressure and volume is given by (PV)^n=constant. The initialvolume is .1 m^3, the final volume is 0.04 m^2, and the final pressure is 2 bar. Determine the initial pressure, in bar, and the work for the process, in kJ, if

(a) n=0

(b) n=1

(c) n=13
