Air goes through a polytropic process in a piston/cylinder setup. The polytropic index is n. The process starts at P1 kPa, T1 oC, and ends with a pressure of P2 kPa.

Answer Questions 6-8 about this process, considering the given information in Question 6. Assume air to be an ideal gas.

Let,

n=1.5

P1=2.3 MPa

T1= 8.9 ×102 °C

P2=2.1 ×102 kPa

Cp = 1.004 kJ/kg-K,

Cv = 0.717 kJ/kg-K,

R = 0.287 kJ/kg-K

Find the final temperature, in oC

(Provide the answer with TWO decimal points)

2) Considering the given information in Question 6, calculate the specific work, in kJ/kg.

3) Considering the given information in Question 6, calculate the specific heat transfer, in kJ/kg.
