Answer

$T_2 = 394.45 K$ $W = 2.95 kJ$

Work Step by Step

From the ideal gas table: $n = 1.4$ Deriving from the polytropic equation and the equation of state for ideal gases we have: $\frac{P^{(n-1)}}{T^n} = constant \rightarrow T_2^n = T_1^n (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{n-1}$ With: $P_2 = 80\ kPa, P_1 = 130\ kPa, T_1 = 180°C + 273.15 = 453.15\ K, V_1=0.07\ m³$ $T_2 = 394.45 K$ For the final volume: $V_2^n=\frac{P_1}{P_2}V_1^n$ $V_2 = 0.099\ m³$ The work for a polytropic process is: $W = \frac{P_2V_2-P_1V_1}{1-n}$ $W = 2.95 kJ$
