During the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. Calculate the work input during this process.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Air in a cylinder is compressed at constant temperature until its pressure rises to a specified value. The boundary work done during this process is to be determined.

Assumptions are

1. The process is quasi-equilibrium.

2. Air is an ideal gas.
