Mohd17 said:the problem how can i get the volume of the gas !
already i get the answers for part a and the final pressure

now what's the answer ?
A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process in which a system undergoes a change in its state, while the relationship between pressure and volume remains constant. This means that the system follows a specific path on a pressure-volume diagram, known as a polytropic curve.
The equation for a polytropic process is given by: P1V1^n = P2V2^n, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume, and n is the polytropic index.
The polytropic index, denoted by n, is a measure of the relationship between pressure and volume during a polytropic process. It is equal to the ratio of specific heats (γ) of the gas, and is often used to characterize the behavior of a gas during a polytropic process.
Some real-life examples of polytropic processes include the compression or expansion of a gas in a piston-cylinder system, the compression or expansion of air in a turbocharger, and the compression or expansion of gas in a gas turbine. Polytopic processes can also occur in the human body, such as during breathing or blood circulation.
A polytropic process differs from other thermodynamic processes in that it maintains a constant relationship between pressure and volume throughout the process. This means that the work done and heat transferred during a polytropic process can be calculated using the same equation, unlike other processes such as isothermal or adiabatic processes.
