Question: Let's consider propane in the initial state State A: PA = 1 0 9 . 3 kPa, VA = 0 . 0 0 9 7

Let's consider propane in the initial state
State A: PA=109.3 kPa, VA=0.0097 m3/ kg and TA=85.73\deg F.
The following transformations are carried out:
A to B: Reversible isothermal transformation with VB=3.4 VA
B to C: Reversible isochoretic transformation with TC=25\deg F
C to A: Reversible adiabatic transformation, which returns the gas to its initial conditions.
a) Determine the number of moles of propane, make a table showing the values P, V and T in the three states A, B and C, and draw the cycle on the P-V diagram.
b) Calculate in units of the international system the W, Q and the variation of internal energy in each process.
c) Find the total W and Q.
