Question

A certain mechanical device with a mechanism similar to a piston contains a certain amount of gas. Upon compression from 30 L to 10 L, the gas released 450 J of heat. Experiment shows that the external pressure of the mechanical device is given by:

Pext = AsinV + BcosV + CsinhV + DcoshV

Where:
A = 100
B = 80
C = 1x10⁻²⁵
D = 5x10⁻³⁰
sin = sine function
cos = cosine function
sinh = hyperbolic sine function
cosh = hyperbolic cosine function
V = in liters
Pext = in atm

Determine the change in internal energy of the system in kilojoules.

TIP: usually, expressions involving trigonometric functions are in radians.
