An insulated piston$-$cylinder device initially contains $0\mathrm{.}3$ m$3$

of carbon dioxide at $200$ kPa and $27\backslash$deg C$.$ An electric switch is turned on$,$ and a $160\mathrm{.}0-$V source supplies current to a resistance heater inside the cylinder for a period of $10$ min. The pressure is held constant during the process, while the volume is doubled. The gas constant and molar mass of CO$2$ are R $=0\mathrm{.}1889$ kPa$$m$3/$kg$$K

and M $=44$ kg$/$kmol $($Table A$-1).$ The specific heat of CO$2$ at the average temperature of Tavg $=(300+600)/2=450$ K

is cp$,$ avg $=0\mathrm{.}978$ kJ$/$kg$\backslash$deg C

$($Table A$-2$b$).$Determine the current that passes through the resistance heater $\_\_\_$ A$.$
