Answer:

work will be positive when it is under polytropic expansion process

Explanation:

It states a polytropic process with n equal to 1.67. there is a polytropic expansion that mean work is positive and if it was polytropic compression then it would be negative

$PV^n = const$

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Also work during the process of polytropic is given as

$W_{1-2} =\frac{P_1V_1 -P_2V_2}{n-1}$

the work will be positive when it is under the polytropic expansion process

For a certain gas, Cp = 840.4 J/kg-K; and Cv = 651.5 J/kg-K. How fast will sound travel in this gas if it is at an adiabatic sta

Crank

Answer:

The speed of the sound for the adiabatic gas is 313 m/s

Explanation:

For adiabatic state gas, the speed of the sound c is calculated by the following expression:

$c=\sqrt(\gamma*R*T)$
