    The document is a physics problem that asks to calculate the work done by a gas expanding reversibly in a cylinder according to PV^1.2 = constant. It is given that the initial pressure is 6.9 bar and volume is 0.05 m^3, and the final volume is 0.08 m^3. The solution uses the ideal gas law to find the final pressure is 3.92559 bar. It then uses the formula for polytropic process work to calculate that the work done is 15480 J, which is approximated as 15480 J.

    Answer on Question #71023, Physics / Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics

    0.05 m3 of a gas at 6.9 bar expands reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston according to the law
    PV1.2 =constant until volume is 0.08 m3. Calculate the work done by the gas and sketch the process
    on p-v diagram.

    Solution:

    Work = 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎


    Since,
    𝑝1 𝑉11.2 = 𝑝2 𝑉21.2 ,
    Therefore
    𝑉1 1.2 0.05 1.2
    𝑝2 = 𝑝1 ( ) = 6.9 × ( ) = 3.92559 𝑏𝑎𝑟
    𝑉2 0.08
    The work is
    𝑝2 𝑉2 − 𝑝1 𝑉1
    𝑊=
    1−𝑛

    3.9256 × 0.08 − 6.9 × 0.05


    𝑊= × 105 = 15476 𝐽 ≈ 15480 𝐽
    1 − 1.2

    Answer: 15480 𝐽
