Question: ( 6 points ) Carbon dioxide initially at 5 0 kPa, 3 0 0 K , undergoes a process in a closed system until its

(6 points) Carbon dioxide initially at 50kPa,300K, undergoes a process in a closed system until its pressure and temperature are 1 MPa and 700 K , respectively. Assuming ideal gas behavior, find the entropy change of the carbon dioxide by a) first assuming constant specific heats (approximate method), and b) then assuming variable specific heats (exact method). Which method do you expect to be more correct and why? (please see Table on next page)
Note: Cp,av,CO2=0.846kJkg-1K-1 at 300K,MCO2=44kgkmol,RCO2=0.1889kJkg-1K-1.
