Hi I really need help figuring out this problem. A balloon behaves such that the pressure inside is proportional to the diameter squared. It contains 2 Kg of ammonia at 0 degrees celcius and 60% quality. The balloon and ammonia are now heated so that a final pressure of 600 kPa is reached. Considering the ammonia as a control mass, find the amount of work done in the process.
the answer is 117.19 KJ
i was able to find the initial volume from the quality and mass
I got Vinitial = 0.3483
I can't find a way to get a value for n in the polytropic process equation
W = (P2V2-P1V1)/ 1-n
