A piston-cylinder device contains 3.2 kg of air initially at 300 kPa and 227 °C (State 1). The air is now expanded slowly in polytropic process during which PV¹.2=constant (n=1.2) until the volume is doubled (State 2). Then the air expanded at constant pressure until the volume reached three times the volume of State 1 (State 3). Air properties: R = 287 J/kg.K, Cv = 718 J/kg.K, and Cp = 1005 J/kg.K a) Calculate the total work done and the heat transfer in kJ. b) Draw the two processes on p-v diagram.

Question
A piston-cylinder device contains 3.2 kg of air initially at 300 kPa and 227
°C (State 1). The air is now expanded slowly in polytropic process during
which PV1.2-constant (n=1.2) until the volume is doubled (State 2). Then
the air expanded at constant pressure until the volume reached three times
the volume of State 1 (State 3). Air properties: R = 287 J/kg.K, C₁ = 718
J/kg.K, and Cp = 1005 J/kg.K
a) Calculate the total work done and the heat transfer in kJ.
b) Draw the two processes on p-v diagram.
