A piston-cylinder arrangement holds a thermally perfect gas at p1=100kPa and T1 = 300K. Assume that cp = 1.0035 kJ/kg-K, cv = 0.7165 kJ/kg-K, and R = 0.287 kJ/kg-K.
a. This process is an isothermal, quasi-static compression from p1 = 100kPa to p2 = 500kPa. What are T2 and v2, and how much work was done by the system during this process?
b. Sketch the process on a P-v and T-v diagram. Label the sketches with both states and indicate work where appropriate.
