One kilogram of a refrigerant is contained in a piston cylinder arrangement. The refrigerant is compressed from State 1, where P1 = 2 bars, v1 = 83.54 cm3 / gm, to State 2, where the pressure is P2 and v2 =21.34 cm3 / gm. During this process, the relationship between the pressure and specific volume is of the form Pvn = C, where C is a constant.
