Question
Q.1. A piston-cylinder device contains 1 mole of air initially at 1 bar and
298.15 K. The air is compressed to 3.3 bar and 298.15 K by two different
closed-system mechanically reversible processes:
(a) Cooling at constant pressure followed by heating at constant volume.
(b) Heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure.
Determine (1) the W, Q, AU and AH of the air for each process and (2) the
W, Q, AU and AH of the air for the two steps combined?
Hints: (1) Assume the air remains a gas for which PV/T = C.
(2) Vairat i bar and 298.15 K 0.02479 m2/mol.
(3) Cy air = 20.785 and Cp air = 29.1 J. mol-1. K-1
