PLEASE WORK AND EXPLAIN REASONING FOR PARTS D-G
(7 points) Gas is trapped inside a rigid cylinder. A piston inside the cylinder can move to change the
volume of the trapped gas. The mass of gas inside the cylinder is 0.3008 lb m . The initial volume is 4ft3, the
initial pressure is 14.696 psia , and the initial temperature is 68F.
The piston is then moved to compress the gas to a volume of 0.75ft3. Previous experiments with this
apparatus have shown that this compression process can be modeled as a polytropic process with a
polytropic exponent of 1.3..
During the compression, heat transfer from the gas to the surroundings through the cylinder wall is
measured to be 5.71 Btu.
Determine the following. Round your answers to three significant figures.
