Mechanical engineers, as well as most other engineers, use thermodynamics extensively in their work. The following polynomial can be used to relate the zero-pressure specific heat of dry air cp kJ/(kg K) to temperature (K):

cp = 0.99403 + 1.671 × 10-4T + 9.7215 × 10-8T2 -9.5838 × 10-11 T3 + 1.9520 × 10-14T4

Develop a plot of cp versus a range of T = 0 to 1200 K, and then use bisection to determine the temperature that corresponds to a specific heat of 1.1 kJ/(kg K).
