A container of 1.5 Kg of gas is at a temperature and pressure of 293 K and 1 bar respectively.   The gas is adiabatically compressed until its temperature and pressure are 450 K, 4.49 bars.  Adiabatic processes are processes with no heat transfer.  The properties of this gas are cv = 10.3 KJ/(Kg K) and R = 4.158 KJ/(Kg K).  Neglect kinetic and potential energy terms.    Use the first law to determine the work into the system. Calculate the entropy production for this process. Is this a reversible process?
