Answer

$Q=-6.51\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

For an ideal gas: $PV=mRT$ Given $P_1=100\ kPa, V_1=0.2\ m³,\ R=2.0769\ kJ/kg.K,\ T_1=283\ K$, and solving for the mass: $m=0.03403\ kg$ Given $P_2=700\ kPa,\ T_2=563\ K$, and solving for the volume: $V_2=0.05684\ m³$ The polyt\ kJr opic relation is: $P_2V_2^n=P_1V_1^n\rightarrow \ln{\frac{P_2}{P_1}}=n\ln{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}$ hence $n=1.547$ The boundary work is given by: $W_b=-\frac{mR\Delta T}{n-1}$ $W_b=-36.19\ kJ$ The energy balance for this process is: $Q-W_b=\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T$ Given $c_v=3.1156\ kJ/kg$: $Q=-6.51\ kJ$
