Air undergoes a polytropic process in a piston-cylinder assembly from P₁ = 1 bar, T₁ = 295 K to P₂ = 7 bar. The air is modeled as an ideal gas and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For a polytropic exponent of 1.6, determine the work and heat transfer, each in kJ per kg of air, a) assuming constant C, evaluated at 300 K. b) assuming variable specific heats.
