Here,
m = 1 kg
R = 400 J/kgK
CV = 1000 J/kgK
P1 = 1 bar
T1 = 300 K
W = – 100 kJ = – 100 × 103 J
Q = 0
0 = – 100 × 103 + mCV (T2 – T1)
100 × 103= 1 × 1000 (T2 – 300)
T2 = 400 K
V1 = V2⇒ ln V2 = 0 V1 S2 - S1 = mCvln T2 T1 S2 - S1 = 1 × 1000 × ln 400 300
S2 – S1 = 287.68 J/KCorrect Option: A

Tds = du + pdv (closed system)
283.15 × 10(S2 – S1) = 16.2 × 103∴ S2 = 0.88 + 16.2 × 103 283.15 × 10
= 6.6013 kJ/kgCorrect Option: A
