A vessel contains \(0.15\) m\(^3\) of a gas at pressure \(8\) bar and temperature \(140°\)C with \(c_p = 3R\) and \(c_v = 2R\). It is expanded adiabatically till pressure falls to \(1\) bar. The work done during this process is _______ kJ. (\(R\) is gas constant)

  1. A 40
  2. B 60
  3. C 80
  4. D 120

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 120

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(P_1 = 8\) bar \(= 8 \times 10^5\) Pa, \(V_1 = 0.15\) m\(^3\), and \(P_2 = 1\) bar \(= 10^5\) Pa. The adiabatic index \(\gamma\) is given by: \(\gamma = \dfrac{c_p}{c_v} = \dfrac{3R}{2R} = 1.5\) For an adiabatic process, \(P_1 V_1^\gamma = P_2 V_2^\gamma\).…
