[solved] – Question 90779

The following data has been collected by a technician:
Gas volume: V=0.8 m^3
Gas pressure: p=160 kPa
Compression index: n=1.4
Pressure/volume relationship: pV^n=C
Work done = ∫(V1)^(V2) pdV

Evaluate C

Calculate the work done in compressing the nitrogen from 0.8 m^3 to 0.6 m^3 using:
integral calculus
Simpson’s rule
the mid-ordinate rule
