i.e., Heat supplied = 84.5 kJ/kg. (Ans.)
Example 4.31. 0.1 m^3 of an ideal gas at 300 K and 1 bar is compressed adiabatically to 8
bar. It is then cooled at constant volume and further expanded isothermally so as to reach the
condition from where it started. Calculate :
(i)Pressure at the end of constant volume cooling.
(ii)Change in internal energy during constant volume process.
(iii)Net work done and heat transferred during the cycle. Assume
cp = 14.3 kJ/kg K and cv = 10.2 kJ/kg K.
Solution. Given : V 1 = 0.1 m^3 ; T 1 = 300 K ; p 1 = 1 bar ; cp = 14.3 kJ/kg K ;
cv = 10.2 kJ/kg K.
