A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do you think the energy required will be greater? Why?

    Specific heat at constant pressure is = 1.005 kJ/kg. K

    Specific heat at constant volume is = 0.718 kJ/kg. K

    Explanation:

    given data

    temperature T1 = 50°C

    temperature T2 = 80°C

    solution

    we know energy require to heat the air is express as

    for constant pressure and volume

    Q = m * c * ΔT ... 1

    here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

    here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

    and here at constant pressure Specific heat is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

    so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

    Specific heat at constant pressure is = 1.005 kJ/kg. K

    and

    Specific heat at constant volume is = 0.718 kJ/kg. K
