2 kg of air initially at 320 K undergoes a process that changes its pressure from 1 bar to 3 bars such that its internal energy increases by 72,000J. Its final temperature is.
Solution
The ideal gas equation
PV = n R T
at constant volume
P1 / p2 = T1 / T2
T2 = P2 T1 / P1
= (3 bars ) ( 320 K ) / ( 1 bar )
=960 K
