w = (n_c/(n_c-1))*(P₁*(V₁-V₄))*((P₂/P₁)^((n_c-1)/n_c)-1)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Work Done Per Cycle - (Measured in Joule) - Work Done per cycle is the total amount of heat absorbed per cycle by the working substance from the source.
Polytropic index of Compression - Polytropic index of compression is a parameter that defines the relationship between pressure and volume during a thermodynamic process. It indicates how heat is transferred during compression.
Suction Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - The Suction Pressure is the pressure of the refrigerant before the compression. It is also called the suction pressure of the refrigerant.
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor is the volume of refrigerant in compressor before compression.
Expanded Clearance Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Expanded clearance volume is the volume of refrigerant in compressor after expansion.
Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant - (Measured in Pascal) - The discharge pressure of refrigerant is the pressure of the refrigerant after the compression stage or it is the pressure of the refrigerant at the discharge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Polytropic index of Compression: 1.3 --> No Conversion Required
Suction Pressure: 1.013 Bar --> 101300 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor: 3.36 Cubic Meter --> 3.36 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Expanded Clearance Volume: 0.6 Cubic Meter --> 0.6 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant: 8 Bar --> 800000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = (n_c/(n_c-1))*(P₁*(V₁-V₄))*((P₂/P₁)^((n_c-1)/n_c)-1) --> (1.3/(1.3-1))*(101300*(3.36-0.6))*((800000/101300)^((1.3-1)/1.3)-1)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 740324.832197332

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

740324.832197332 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

740324.832197332 ≈ 740324.8 Joule <-- Work Done Per Cycle
