A certain ideal gas has the following properties: Cpo = A + (B/T) where A and B are constants and T is temperature in °K and Cpo has units kJ / K /kg. The gas constant is R = 0.25 kJ/ºK/kg and the constants A = 1.25, B = 173.8029748. For T₁ = 300 °K and T₂ = 400 °K, determine the change in specific internal energy, (u₂-u₁ ) in kJ/kg. You may NOT assume constant specific heats.

### Ideal Gas Properties and Specific Internal Energy Calculation

In this section, we will explore the properties of a specific ideal gas and determine the change in specific internal energy given varying temperature conditions. 

#### Given Properties and Formula

A particular ideal gas is characterized by the following equation for heat capacity at constant pressure \( C_{p0} \):

\[ C_{p0} = A + \left( \frac{B}{T} \right) \]

where:
- \( A \) and \( B \) are constants.
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (\( °K \)).
- \( C_{p0} \) has units of \( \text{kJ} / °K \cdot \text{kg} \).

The gas constant for this system is given by:

\[ R = 0.25 \text{kJ} / °K \cdot \text{kg} \]

The constants are:
\[ A = 1.25 \]
\[ B = 173.8029748 \]

We are given two specific temperatures:
- \( T_1 = 300°K \)
- \( T_2 = 400°K \)

#### Objective

Determine the change in specific internal energy (\( u_2 - u_1 \)) in \( \text{kJ} / \text{kg} \). It is important to note that the assumption of constant specific heats is not valid for this calculation.

#### Process

1. **Integrate the specific heat capacity function to determine the change in internal energy:**

   Specific heat capacity at constant volume \( C_v \) can be related to \( C_{p0} \) as follows, considering the ideal gas relationship:
   \[ C_v = C_{p0} - R \]

2. **Integrate \( C_v \) over the temperature range:**
   \[ u_2 - u_1 = \int_{T_1}^{T_2} C_v \, dT \]
   \[ \Rightarrow u_2 - u_1 = \int_{T_1}^{T_2} \left( A + \frac{B}{T} - R \right) \, dT \]
   
    Substitute the values of \(A\), \(B\), and \(R\):
    \[ u_2 - u_1 = \int_{T_1}^{
