QUESTION:

A piston-cylinder assembly contains ammonia, initially at 0.8 bar and \(-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The ammonia is compressed to a pressure of 5.5 bar. During the process, the pressure and specific volume are related by p v = constant. For \(20 \mathrm{~kg}\) of ammonia, determine the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.
