Calculate heat transfer for process-variable specific heats


Two kg of nitrogen at 40°C and 200 kPa are contained in a frictionless piston-cylinder device. The nitrogen is compressed to ½ of the initial volume in a process such that pV^1.4 = constant. Treat nitrogen as an ideal gas.

a)Calculate the initial volume, VI

b)Calculate the work of the compression

c)Calculate the heat transfer for the process, assuming variable specific heats.
