A piston and cylinder device (closed system) contain 2.25 mol of
an ideal gas which
is compressed irreversibly at constant temperature from 423 K and
200 kPa to 8 bar.
The irreversible work applied for the compression is 15 % larger
than the reversible
work for the same process. Determine the entropy change of the gas,
the
surroundings and the total entropy change if the heat is rejected
from the gas to
surroundings maintained at 25 oC.
