A gasoline engine takes in 5 moles of air at 20∘ C and 1 atm, and compresses it adiabatically to 110th of the original volume. Find the change in internal energy. (Assume air to be diatomic)
46 kJ
P1=1 atm, n=5,T1=293 K
V2=V110
Now, P1Vx1=P2Vx2
P2=25.12 atm
Similarly, T1Vx−11=T2Vx−12
T2=736 K
Work done =nR(T1−T2)x−1=−46 kJ
Δ U=Δ H−W=0−W=46 kJ
