1st and 2nd thermodynamics problem.
i am trying to fully describe this proposed system. note that the A is an adiabatic compression of 2 to 3 making the temperature at 3=500K. C is an adiabatic expansion of 2 to 5 making the temperature ar 5=111K. B is an isothermal expansion of 3 to 4, making the pressure at 4 equal 1.01 bar. D is an isothermal compression of 5 to 6, making the pressure at 6 equal 1.01 bar. i have worked out the relationship between A and C, finding the work required to be 256.49 W. I am struggling to find the Work/heat relationships for the isothermal compressor/turbine. More information, heat capacity is independent of temp/pres for this problem and is constant. Additionally the molar flow rate of 2=162 mol/hr. also this problem is at steady state operation. please help using energy balances and entropy balance if necessary. assume they are reversible so delta S =0.
