55. One kg of air, initially at a temperature of 127°C,
expands reversibly at a constant pressure until the
volume is doubled. If the gas constant of air is 0.287
J/kgK, the magnitude of work transfer is ______ kJ
(round off to 2 decimal places).
55. Ans: 114.8

Sol: m = 1 kg ; T1 = 127 + 273 = 400 K
V2 = 2V1 ; R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K
P = constant
