Question 3
A gas in a piston- cylinder assemble undergoes an expansion process for which the
relationship pressure and volume is given by P V n=Constant

The initial pressure is 3 bar, the initial volume is 0.1 m 3∧the final volume is 0.2 m3 .
determine the work for the process, in KJ if (a) n = 1.5, (b) n = 3

Question 5
A 1.25kg sample of an ideal gas is expanded from 320K and initial pressure of 3.10
bar to a final pressure of 1.00 bar. Take the ϒ=1.4. calculate the work done for the
following two cases:
Case 1: isothermal expansion
Case 2: adiabatic expansion.
