Answer

$W_b/m=151.10\ kJ/kg$ $Q/m = -75.50\ kJ/kg$

Work Step by Step

For a polytropic process: $P_1^{1-n}T_1^n=P_2^{1-n}T_2^n$ With $n=1.2, P_1=120\ kPa, T_1=10°C=283.15K, P_2=800\ kPa$, we get to: $T_2=388.45\ K$ The boundary work is given by($R=0.2870\ kJ/kg.K$): $W_b=\frac{-1}{n-1}(mR(T_2-T_1))$ $W_b/m=151.10\ kJ/kg$ The energy balance for this system($c_v=0.718\ kJ/kg.K$): $Q-W_b=\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T$ $Q/m = -75.50\ kJ/kg$
