Question

A system undergoes a two-step process as sketched in the figure below. The system first expands at constant pressure from state i to state A and then It Is compressed with the pressure again held fixed, ending with the system in state f. What is the approximate amount of work done by the system during each step? (Assume V_1 = 0.2 m^3 and V_2 = 0.4 m^3.) Estimate the pressure of the system. Pa Estimate the volume at state i. m^3 Estimate the volume at state A. M^3 Estimate the volume at state f. M^3 Calculate the work done by the system during the expansion step. (Use your estimates.) J Calculate the work done by the system during the expansion step. (Use your estimates.) J

Explanation / Answer

Approximation value is given as

Pressure =15000 pascal

Vi=0.15 cubic m

Vf=0.19 cubic m

Since presssure is constant so

Work done =pressure*change in volume

Work done in expansion=15000*(0.45-0.15)=4500 J

Work done in contraction=15000*(0.19-0.45)=-3900 J
