Question 89
XE-EMCQ1 markNeeds review
A cylinder of volume 0.1 m³ is filled with nitrogen at 10 MPa and 300 K. Consider nitrogen to be an ideal gas. The cylinder develops a leak and nitrogen escapes to atmosphere which is at 0.1 MPa. After some time, the pressure in the cylinder reduces to 5 MPa. Assuming the cylinder and the leaked gas temperature remains constant at 300 K, the work done (in MJ) by nitrogen gas is
