Nitrogen which was initially at 1 bar and 280 K, is compressed to 5 bar and 280 K by two different reversible processes: (a) Cooling at constant pressure followed by heating at constant volume (b) Heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure. For each of above paths, determine the conditions at the intermediate state and ΔU, ΔH, Q and W

Question
Assume that P-V-T relationship for nitrogen gas can be approximated by the ideal gas equation PV =
nRT, where R = 8.314 kJ/kmol k. The heat capacities are Cv = 20.786 kJ/kmol K and Cp = 29.1 kJ/kmol
K. Nitrogen which was initially at 1 bar and 280 K, is compressed to 5 bar and 280 K by two different
reversible processes:
(a) Cooling at constant pressure followed by heating at constant volume
(b) Heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure.
For each of above paths, determine the conditions at the intermediate state and ΔU, ΔH, Q and W
