Question
The work required to perform polytropic compression of an ideal gas (Pvn = constant, where 1 < n < k ) is always more than the work required for _______ compressionQuestion 6Select one:a.isentropicb.isothermalc.none of the above
Solution
The work required for polytropic compression of an ideal gas is always more than the work required for isothermal compression. So, the correct answer is b. isothermal.

Consider an ideal gas that occupies 2 L at 1 bar. The gas is compressed isothermallyto 0.5 L at a constant pressure of 4 bar. This is followed by another isothermalcompression to 0.25 L at a constant pressure of 8 bar. Calculate the work involved inthis two-step compression. Calculate and compare the work if the same gas wascompressed 2 L to 0.25 L in a reversible, isothermal manner.
