Question: Air is compressed adiabatically in a piston cylinder assembly from 1 bar, 3 F 0 K to 1 0 bar, 6 F 0 K .

Air is compressed adiabatically in a pistoncylinder assembly from 1 bar, 3F0 K to 10 bar, 6F0 K. The air can be modeled as ideal gas and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K per kg of air, for the compression. What is the minimum theoretical work input, in kJ per kg of air, for an adiabatic compression from the given initial state to a final pressure of 10 bar?
