Assumptions 1 Argon Is An Ideal Gas Since It Is at A High Temperature and Low Pressure Relative To Its Critical
4-74 Argon is compressed in a polytropic process. The work done and the heat transfer are to be
determined.
Assumptions 1 Argon is an ideal gas since it is at a high temperature and low pressure relative to its critical
point values of 151 K and 4.86 MPa. 2 The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible,
Δke Δpe 0 .
Properties The properties of argon are R = 0.2081kJ/kgK and cv = 0.3122 kJ/kgK (Table A-2a).
Analysis We take argon as the system. This is a closed system since no
mass crosses the boundaries of the system. The energy balance for this
system can be expressed as
