Me8391 Engineering Thermodynamics Tutorial - I Me8391 Engineering Thermodynamics Tutorial - I

The document contains 5 problems involving the compression and expansion of gases through various thermodynamic processes. Problem 1 involves the reversible adiabatic compression of air, calculating the final temperature, volume, and work done. Problem 2 calculates the work done during the quasi-static compression of a gas where pressure and volume are related by a power law equation. Problem 3 determines the work done during the adiabatic expansion of a gas until the pressure falls to 1 bar, given the heat capacities.
