The value of gas constant (R) in S. I. units is a) 0.287 J/kgK b) 2.87 J/kgK c) 28.7 J/kgK d) 287 J/kgK
(a) Heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure. (b) Isothermal compression. (c)Adiabatic compression followed by cooling at constant volume. Assume air to be an ideal gas with the constant heat capacities, C V = (5/2)R and C P = (7/2)R. Calculate the work required, heat transferred, and the changes in
