Answer:
W=-280.67 KJ
Explanation:
Given that
Initial pressure = 150 KPa
Final pressure = 600 KPa
Temperature T= 285 K
Mass m=2.4 Kg
We know that ,work in isothermal process given as
[tex]W=mRT\ ln\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}[/tex]
Gas constant for nitrogen gas R=0.296 KJ/kgK
Now by putting the values
[tex]W=mRT\ ln\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}[/tex]
[tex]W=2.4\times 0.296\times 285\ ln\dfrac{150}{600}[/tex]
W=-280.67 KJ
Negative sign indicates that it is compression process and work is done on the gas.
