Question: Adiabatic frictionless processes in an ideal gas (a) A gas that obeys the ideal gas law may deviate appreciably from C p = constant. Hence

Adiabatic frictionless processes in an ideal gas 

(a) A gas that obeys the ideal gas law may deviate appreciably from Cp = constant. Hence rework Example 11.4-6 using a molar heat capacity expression of the form Cp = a + bT + cT2 

(b) Determine the final pressure, P2, required if methane (CH4) is to be heated from 300K and 1 atm to 800K by adiabatic frictionless compression. The recommended empirical constants for methane are: a = 2.322 cal/g-mole ∙ K, b = 38.04 x 10-3 cal/g-mole ∙ K2 and c = – 10-97 x 10-6 cal/g-mole ∙ K3
