Answer:
A. The final pressure is 0.776bar
Explanation:
To obtain the final pressure, we use the formula:
P2 / P1 = (T2 /T1)^n/n-1
P1 = 4bar = 400kPa
T1 = 438K
T2 = 300K
Polytropic index, n= 1.3
So therefore,
P2 = 4 (300 / 438) ^1.3/1.3-1
P2 = 4(300/438)^1.3/0.3
P2= 4(300/438)^4.333
P2 = 4 * 0.19400
P2 = 0.776bar.
