Question: A process consists of two steps: (1) One mole of air at T = 800 K and P = 4 bar is cooled at constant

A process consists of two steps: (1) One mole of air at T = 800 K and P = 4 bar is cooled at constant volume to T = 350 K. (21 The air is then healed at constant pressure until its temperature reaches 800 K. If this two-step process is replaced by a single isothermal expansion of the air from 800 K and 4 bar to some final pressure P, w hat is the value of P that makes the work of the two processes the same? Assume mechanical reversibility and treat air as an ideal gas with CP = (7/2) R and CV = 15/2) R.
