The properties of a closed system change as per the relation between pressure and volume as pV = 5 where p is in bar V is in m³. Calculate the work done when the pressure increases from 2 bar to 8 bar.
pV = 5 ; p_1 = 2 bar ; p_2 = 8 bar
∴ V_1 = \frac{5}{2} \times 101.325 m^3 = 253.31 m^3 and V_2 = \frac{5}{8} \times 101.325 m^3 = 63.328 m^3
W_{12} = \int\limits_{1}^{2}{pdV} = \int\limits_{V_1}^{V_2}{\frac{5}{V} dV } = 5 \times 101.325 \log \frac{V_2}{V_1} = -702.2 kJ/kg
