Given data: Initial volume (V1) = 0.2 m^3 Initial pressure (P1) = 1.2 bars = 1.2 * 10^5 Pa Initial temperature (T1) = 60°C = 333 K Final pressure (P2) = 12 bars = 12 * 10^5 Pa Final temperature (T2) = 270°C = 543 K Specific heat at constant pressure (cp) = 1.072 kJ/kgK = 1072 J/kgK Gas constant (R) = 294 J/kgK
1. Calculate the maximum temperature reached during compression: Using the ideal gas law, we can calculate the initial and final number of moles of gas: n1 = (P1 * V1) / (R * T1) n2 = (P2 * V1) / (R * T2)
Since the volume is constant during the process, the number of moles remains constant: n1 = n2
Therefore, the maximum temperature reached during compression is 3330 K.
2. Calculate the change in internal energy: The change in internal energy (ΔU) can be calculated using the first law of thermodynamics: ΔU = n * cp * (T2 - T1) ΔU = n * 1072 * (3330 - 333) ΔU = n * 1072 * 2997 ΔU = 3 * 1072 * 2997 ΔU = 3.22 * 10^6 J
Therefore, the change in internal energy is 3.22 * 10^6 J.
3. Calculate the heat transfer: The heat transfer (Q) during the process can be calculated using the equation: Q = ΔU + W Where W is the work done during the process. Since the volume is constant, no work is done (W = 0).
Therefore, Q = ΔU Q = 3.22 * 10^6 J
Therefore, the heat transfer during the process is 3.22 * 10^6 J.
