?In a steam engine the pressure \(P\) and volume \(V\) of steam satisfy the equation \(P

Chapter 5, Problem 30

(choose chapter or problem)

In a steam engine the pressure \(P\) and volume \(V\) of steam satisfy the equation \(P V^{1.4}=k\), where \(k\) is a constant. (This is true for adiabatic expansion, that is, expansion in which there is no heat transfer between the cylinder and its surroundings.) Use Exercise \(29\) to calculate the work done by the engine during a cycle when the steam starts at a pressure of \(160 \ l b / \ i n^{2}\) and a volume of \(100 \ \mathrm{in}^{3}\) and expands to a volume of \(800 \ \mathrm{in}^{3}\).
