In a piston cylinder assembly, one kmol of an ideal gas is compressed from an initial state of 200 kPa and 400 K to a final state of 1 MPa and 400 K. If the surroundings are at 400 K, the minimum amount of work (in kJ/kmol) required for the compression process is ______________ (rounded off to two decimal places). Use: Universal gas constant (Ru) = 8.314 kJ/kmol-K
Answer: 5300 to 5400
