Explanation Proof for P v k = constant : Write the given expression for isentropic expansion exponent ( k ) . k = − v P ( ∂ P ∂ v ) s (I) Here, the specific volume is v , the pressure is P , the entropy is s and the symbol ∂ indicates the partial derivative of variables. Let assume the entropy ( s ) is the functions of pressure ( P ) and specific volume ( v ) . s = s ( P , v ) (II) Partially differentiate the Equation (II) with respect to pressure and specific volume as follows. d s = ( ∂ s ∂ P ) v d P + ( ∂ s ∂ v ) P d v (III) It is given that the process is said to be isentropic i.e. the entropy is kept as constant. The change in entropy becomes zero. s = constant d s = 0 Substitute 0 for d s in Equation (III). 0 = ( ∂ s ∂ P ) v d P + ( ∂ s ∂ v ) P d v ( ∂ s ∂ P ) v d P + ( ∂ s ∂ v ) P d v = 0 (IV) Write the first Maxwell relation and second Maxell relation as follows. ( ∂ s ∂ P ) v = − ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s (V) ( ∂ s ∂ v ) P = ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s (VI) Here, the temperature is T . Substitute − ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s for ( ∂ s ∂ P ) v and ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s for ( ∂ s ∂ v ) P in Equation (IV). [ − ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s ] d P + [ ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s ] d v = 0 − ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s d P + ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s d v = 0 − ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s [ d P − ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s d v ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s ] = 0 d P − ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s d v ( ∂ v ∂ T ) s = 0 d P − ( ∂ P ∂ T ) s ( ∂ T ∂ v ) s d v = 0 d P − ( ∂ P ∂ v ) s d v = 0 (VII) Divide the Equation (VII) by the pressure P . d P − ( ∂ P ∂ v ) s d v P = 0 P d P P − 1 P ( ∂ P ∂ v ) s d v = 0 (VIII) Refer Equation (I). Substitute − k v for 1 P ( ∂ P ∂ v ) s in Equation (VIII). d P − ( ∂ P ∂ v ) s d v P = 0 P d P P − ( − k v ) d v = 0 d P P + k d v v = 0 (IX) Consider the k as constant and integrate the Equation (IX). ∫ d P P + k ∫ d v v = ∫ 0 ln P + k ln v = constant k ln ( P v ) = constant ln ( P v ) k = constant P v k = constant Thus, it has been shown that P v k = constant

Two identical piston-cylinder devices are each filled with 1 kg air at T = 300 K and P = 2 bar. Next, one of the gases undergoes a reversible and isothermal expansion, and the other one expands isentropically. Both of the gases stop expanding when their final volumes reach twice of their initial volumes. [5] a) Sketch both of these processes on the same T-S plot. Indicate the direction of the expansion process on the plot. (No need to express the values for T and S on the plot) [5] b) Sketch both of these processes on the same P-V plot. Indicate the direction of the expansion process on the plot. (No need to express the values for P and V on the plot) [10] c) Calculate the heat transfer between the air and the surrounding for each process separately. show possible interpolations

One mole of an ideal gas, initially at 20 °C (293.15 K) and 1.50 bar, undergoes the following mechanically reversible changes. It is compressed isothermally to a point such that when it is heated at constant volume to 100 °C (373.15 K) its final pressure is 10 bar. Take Cp = (7/2)R and Cv = (5/2)R. Hints: Process 1 to 2: T1 = T2; Process 2 to 3: (P2/T2) = (P3/T3), thus (P2/T1) = (P3/T3) Use equations for isothermic and isochoric processes. Wtotal = W12 + W23 and Qtotal = Q12 + Q23. What is the amount of work involved in the process? What is the amount of heat transferred in the process?
