Nitrogen gas is reversibly compressed from (70^{circ} mathrm{F}) and 14.7 psia to one-fourth of its original volume

Question:

Nitrogen gas is reversibly compressed from \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and 14.7 psia to one-fourth of its original volume by (1) a \(T=\) const process or (2) a \(p=\) const process followed by a \(v=\) const process to the same end point as (1).

(a) Which compression involves the least amount of work? Show clearly on a \(p-\boldsymbol{v}\) diagram.

(b) Calculate the heat and work interaction for the isothermal compression.
