A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.1 = constant. The mass of the gas is 0.4 lb and the following data are known: p1 = 160 lbf/in.2, V1 = 1 ft3, and p2 = 390 lbf/in.2 During the process, heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the change in specific internal energy of the gas, in Btu/lb.
