4. Adiabatic process
5. Polytropic process
Which process produce more work
done?
Piston undergoes 2 processes in a series. In first step air is compressed in such a way
that process is described as polytropic. The initial state of air is 100 KPa and
0.01m3/kg. The final specific volumf first proe at he end
