Answer:

(a) W_{isoentropic}=8.125\frac{kJ}{mol}

(b) W_{polytropic}=7.579\frac{kJ}{mol}

(c) W_{isothermal}=5.743\frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, since entropy remains unchanged, the constant k should be computed for air as an ideal gas by:

\frac{R}{Cp_{air}}=1-\frac{1}{k}  \\\\\frac{8.314}{29.11} =1-\frac{1}{k}\\

0.2856=1-\frac{1}{k}\\\\k=1.4

Next, we compute the final temperature:

T_2=T_1(\frac{p_2}{p_1} )^{1-1/k}=300K(\frac{1000kPa}{100kPa} )^{1-1/1.4}=579.21K

Thus, the work is computed by:

W_{isoentropic}=\frac{kR(T_2-T_1)}{k-1} =\frac{1.4*8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}(579.21K-300K)}{1.4-1}\\\\W_{isoentropic}=8.125\frac{kJ}{mol}

(b) In this case, since n is given, we compute the final temperature as well:

T_2=T_1(\frac{p_2}{p_1} )^{1-1/n}=300K(\frac{1000kPa}{100kPa} )^{1-1/1.3}=510.38K

And the isentropic work:

W_{polytropic}=\frac{nR(T_2-T_1)}{n-1} =\frac{1.3*8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}(510.38-300K)}{1.3-1}\\\\W_{polytropic}=7.579\frac{kJ}{mol}

(c) Finally, for isothermal, final temperature is not required as it could be computed as:

W_{isothermal}=RTln(\frac{p_2}{p_1} )=8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}*300K*ln(\frac{1000kPa}{100kPa} ) \\\\W_{isothermal}=5.743\frac{kJ}{mol}

Regards.

The sun's energy would be circulated through convection. This is because whenever you see the word "circulate", there is a pretty good chance it has something to do with convection.
