Question: An ideal gas with Cp = ( 7 / 2 ) R and Cv = ( 5 / 2 ) R undergoes the following reversible
An ideal gas with Cp R and Cv R undergoes the following reversible
changes in a series of nonflow processes:
a From an initial state of deg F and psia, it is compressed adiabatically to psia.
b It is then cooled to deg F at a constant pressure of psia.
c Finally, the gas is expanded isothermally to its original state.
Calculate Q WEC, Delta U and Delta H for each of the three processes and for the entire cycle.
Next, calculate Q WEC, Delta U and Delta H for exactly the same changes in state that you
computed above for ac but now assuming that each process is irreversible with
an efficiency of compared to reversible operation. Specifically, if the reversible
process produces BTU of work, the irreversible process should produce
BTU, and if the reversible process requires BTU kJ of work, the irreversible
process should require BTU. Use the exact same initial and final
states you already computed this will require nonzero heat flow in part a
