Methane gas is compressed in a steady state flow process from 101KPa and 27 deg. C to 500KPa and 165 deg. C. Assume methane io be an ideal gas under all conditions {R=8.3145J/molK; specific heat capacity, Cp/R=1.7+0.009T(K) and surrounding to be at a constant temperature of 27 deg.C. If the total entropy change (of the system and surroundings) during the process is 4.5J/molK, find (6 Marks) a. The specific enthalpy and specific entropy changes of methane. b. The net shaft work done and heat exchanged with the surroundings, per mole methane. c. The thermodynamic efficiency of the process
