Question: A 3 ) Air at ( 5 ^ { circ } mathrm { C } ) is contained in a well

A3) Air at \(5^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is contained in a well-insulated rigid tank, with a volume of \(0.2\mathrm{~m}^{3}\). The tank is fitted with a paddle wheel that transfers energy to the air at a constant rate of 4.0 W , for twenty (20) minutes. The initial density of the air is \(1.2\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\). If no changes in kinetic or potential energy occur, determine:
a) the density of the air after the elapsed time (provide/state justification);
b) the change in the total and specific internal energy of the air \([\mathrm{kJ}],[\mathrm{kJ}/\mathrm{kg}]\);
c) the initial pressure of the air in the tank [kPa(g)] and [kPa(abs)].
