Using Energy Concepts and the Ideal Gas Model

As shown in Fig. P3.117, 20 ft3 of air at T1 = 600°R, 100 lbf/in.2 undergoes a polytropic expansion to a final pressure of 51.4 lbf/in.2 The process follows pV1.2 = constant. The work is W = 194.34 Btu. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine

(a) the mass of air, in lb, and the final temperature, in °R.

(b) the heat transfer, in Btu.
