Question: 5 . [ 1 0 Pts ] Consider an unrestrained expansion of air from ( 1 mathrm { ~m } ^ { 3

5.[10 Pts] Consider an unrestrained expansion of air from \(1\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) to \(2\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) at 300 K without any external influence. Treat air as ideal gas, and use 0 K for reference point, if needed.
(a) What are the specific entropy change and lost work? [5 Pts]
(b) Draw \( P-v \) and \( T-s \) diagrams and indicate areas corresponding to lost work. [3 Pts]
(c) If the air expanded at \(0.1\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) during this process, what was the specific entropy generation rate at the beginning of the process? (hint: chain rule of derivative)[2 Pts]
