Question: ( 3 5 % ) 0 . 3 5 k g of the ideal gas argon is contained within a piston - cylinder device. The

(35%)0.35kg of the ideal gas argon is contained within a piston-cylinder device. The argon goes through a two-step process. The first step from State 1 to State 2 is an isentropic compression process from a temperature of 40C and specific volume of 0.7m3kg to a pressure P2=1200kPa. In step 2, the argon goes through a constant pressure process to a final temperature T3=725C. The molecular weight of argon is 40 and its ratio of specific heats is k =1.67.
a)(8pts) Find the temperature of State 2(K).
b)(7 pts) Find the heat transfer and work (kJ) going from State 1-2.
c)(11 pts) Find the heat transfer and work (kJ) going from State 2-3.
d)(6 pts) Find the change in specific entropy from State 2-3(kJkgK)
e)(3pts) Qualitatively sketch the process on a T-s diagram (no numbers needed).
