A frictionless piston fitted inside a cylinder containing gas at a pressure of 200 kPa, volume of 1 liter and temperature of 25 ° C. Choose one gas from Task 1, the gas is to be compressed in the system and the final volume is 0.5 liter. Work is done to move the piston and heat is transferred to the cooling system around the cylinder. Illustrate the importance of expressions for work done in thermodynamic processes by applying first principles while calculating the work done when the expansion is ADIABATIC, ISOTHERMAL and POLYTROPIC for different n= (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.8, 1.9). Discuss the effect of varying n on the calculated boundary work.

Task 2
A frictionless piston fitted inside a cylinder containing gas at a pressure of 200 kPa, volume of 1
liter and temperature of 25 ° C. Choose one gas from Task 1, the gas is to be compressed in the
system and the final volume is 0.5 liter. Work is done to move the piston and heat is transferred to
the cooling system around the cylinder. Illustrate the importance of expressions for work done
in thermodynamic processes by applying first principles while calculating the work done when the
expansion is ADIABATIC, ISOTHERMAL and POLYTROPIC for different n= (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.8,
1.9). Discuss the effect of varying n on the calculated boundary work.
