An insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.3 m³ of carbon dioxide at 200 kPa and 27°C. An electric switch is turned on, and a 90.0-V source supplies current to a resistance heater inside the cylinder for a period of 10 min. The pressure is held constant during the process, while the volume is doubled. Determine the current that passes through the resistance heater. The gas constant and molar mass of CO2 are R 0. 1889 kPa m³/kg K and M= 44 kg/kmol (Table A-1). The specific heat of CO2 at the average (300 + 600)/2 = 450 K is cp, avg 0.978 kJ/kg C (Table A-2b). (Round the final answer to three temperature of Tavg " decimal places.) The current that passes through the resistance heater is 5.745 A.

An insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.3 m³ of carbon dioxide at 200 kPa and 27°C. An electric switch is turned on,
and a 90.0-V source supplies current to a resistance heater inside the cylinder for a period of 10 min. The pressure is held constant
during the process, while the volume is doubled. Determine the current that passes through the resistance heater. The gas constant
and molar mass of CO2 are R 0. 1889 kPa m³/kg K and M= 44 kg/kmol (Table A-1). The specific heat of CO2 at the average
(300 + 600)/2 = 450 K is cp, avg
0.978 kJ/kg C (Table A-2b). (Round the final answer to three

decimal places.)
The current that passes through the resistance heater is
5.745 A.
