One mole of ideal gas, initially at 50^OC and 1 bar, is changed to 150^oC and 4bar by 2 different mechanically reversible processes as follows:

process 1: the gas is first heated at constant pressure until its temperature is 150^oC and then it is compressed isothermally to 4 bar

process 2:the gas is first compressed adiabatically to 4bar and then it is cooled at constant pressure to 150^OC

i)Assume C_v =2.5R and C_p=3.5R, estimate the heat(J) and work(J) for both processes

ii)Select the most energy efficient process.Justify your answer.

One mole of an ideal monatomic gas initially at 300 K and a pressure of 15.0 atm expands to a final pressure of 1.00 atm. The expansion can occur via any one of four different paths: a. isothermal and reversible, b. isothermal and irreversible, c. adiabatic and reversible, and d. adiabatic and irreversible. In irreversible processes, the expansion occurs against an external pressure of 1.00 atm. For each case, calculate the values of q, w, DU, and DH. I need...

. An ideal gas initially contained at 1 bar and 25ºC, is compressed to a final state of 5 bar and 25ºC. Although the initial and final temperatures are the same, the process is NOT isothermal. Rather, the change of state occurs in two steps. First, the gas is cooled at constant pressure (i.e., 1 bar). Second, the gas is heated at constant volume. Please calculate Q, W, DU, and DH for the two steps. Note: Cp*=29.1 J/mol/K, and 1...
