Step-by-step solution

To calculate the final temperature of oxygen, we need to determine the polytropic index nn and assume an initial temperature, as it is not provided in the problem.

  1. Calculate the specific gas constant RR for oxygen.

    The molar mass of oxygen (MM) is 32 kg/kmol32 \text{ kg/kmol}. The universal gas constant (RuR_u) is 8.314 kJ/(kmol⋅K)8.314 \text{ kJ/(kmol}\cdot\text{K)}.

    R=RuM=8.314 kJ/(kmol⋅K)32 kg/kmol=0.2598125 kJ/(kg⋅K)R = \frac{R_u}{M} = \frac{8.314 \text{ kJ/(kmol}\cdot\text{K)}}{32 \text{ kg/kmol}} = 0.2598125 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}
  2. Calculate the specific heat at constant pressure CpC_p and the adiabatic index kk.

    Given Cv=0.649 kJ/(kg⋅K)C_v = 0.649 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}. For a perfect gas, Cp−Cv=RC_p - C_v = R.

    Cp=Cv+R=0.649 kJ/(kg⋅K)+0.2598125 kJ/(kg⋅K)=0.9088125 kJ/(kg⋅K)C_p = C_v + R = 0.649 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)} + 0.2598125 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)} = 0.9088125 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}

    The adiabatic index kk is:

    k=CpCv=0.9088125 kJ/(kg⋅K)0.649 kJ/(kg⋅K)=1.4003274k = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \frac{0.9088125 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}}{0.649 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}} = 1.4003274
  3. Determine the polytropic index nn.

    The first law of thermodynamics for a closed system is ΔU=Q+Won\Delta U = Q + W_{on}, where WonW_{on} is work done on the system and QQ is heat added to the system.
    Work input (WinW_{in}) is done on the system, so Won=WinW_{on} = W_{in}.
    Heat rejected (QrejQ_{rej}) means heat leaves the system, so Q=−QrejQ = -Q_{rej}.
    The problem states that "one-third of work input is rejected as heat", so Qrej=13WinQ_{rej} = \frac{1}{3} W_{in}.
    Therefore, Q=−13WinQ = -\frac{1}{3} W_{in}.
    Substituting into the first law:

    ΔU=−13Win+Win=23Win\Delta U = -\frac{1}{3} W_{in} + W_{in} = \frac{2}{3} W_{in}

    For a perfect gas, ΔU=mCv(T2−T1)\Delta U = m C_v (T_2 - T_1). For a polytropic process, work input Win=mR(T2−T1)n−1W_{in} = \frac{m R (T_2 - T_1)}{n-1}.
    Equating these expressions:

    mCv(T2−T1)=23mR(T2−T1)n−1m C_v (T_2 - T_1) = \frac{2}{3} \frac{m R (T_2 - T_1)}{n-1}

    Assuming T2≠T1T_2 \neq T_1, we can simplify to:

    Cv=23Rn−1C_v = \frac{2}{3} \frac{R}{n-1}

    Rearranging to solve for nn:

    n−1=2R3Cvn-1 = \frac{2R}{3C_v} n=1+2R3Cv=1+2×0.2598125 kJ/(kg⋅K)3×0.649 kJ/(kg⋅K)=1+0.5196251.947=1+0.2668849512≈1.2669n = 1 + \frac{2R}{3C_v} = 1 + \frac{2 \times 0.2598125 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}}{3 \times 0.649 \text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}} = 1 + \frac{0.519625}{1.947} = 1 + 0.2668849512 \approx 1.2669
  4. Assume an initial temperature T1T_1.

    The problem does not provide an initial temperature. We will assume a standard room temperature of 25∘C25^\circ\text{C}.

    T1=25∘C=25+273.15=298.15 KT_1 = 25^\circ\text{C} = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 \text{ K}
  5. Calculate the final temperature T2T_2.

    For a polytropic process, the relation between temperature and pressure is:

    T2T1=(P2P1)n−1n\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{\frac{n-1}{n}}

    Given P1=1.05 barP_1 = 1.05 \text{ bar} and P2=4.2 barP_2 = 4.2 \text{ bar}.
    First, calculate the exponent n−1n\frac{n-1}{n}:

    n−1n=0.26688495121.2668849512=0.2106504854\frac{n-1}{n} = \frac{0.2668849512}{1.2668849512} = 0.2106504854

    Now, substitute the values into the temperature-pressure relation:

    T2298.15 K=(4.2 bar1.05 bar)0.2106504854\frac{T_2}{298.15 \text{ K}} = \left(\frac{4.2 \text{ bar}}{1.05 \text{ bar}}\right)^{0.2106504854} T2298.15 K=(4)0.2106504854\frac{T_2}{298.15 \text{ K}} = (4)^{0.2106504854} (4)0.2106504854≈1.339106(4)^{0.2106504854} \approx 1.339106 T2=298.15 K×1.339106T_2 = 298.15 \text{ K} \times 1.339106 T2≈399.243 KT_2 \approx 399.243 \text{ K}

    The final temperature of oxygen is approximately 399.24 K\text{399.24 K}.
