Question

A total of a 185 J of work is done on a gaseous refrigerant as it under goes compression, If the internal energy of the gas increases by 160 J during the process. What is the total amount of energy transferred as heat? Has energy been added to or removed from the refrigerant as heat? Show the procedure, result with units and direction

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data

  • The amount of total work done on the gas is W=-185 J.
  • The increase in internal energy of the gas is given as U=160 J.
