1 mol of an ideal gas initially at 300 K and 1 bar undergoes a three-step mechanically reversible cycle in a closed system. In step 12, pressure increases isothermally to 5 bar; in step 23, pressure increases at constant volume; and in step 31, the gas returns adiabatically to its initial state. Take CP = (7/2)R and CV = (5/2)R. (a) Sketch the cycle on a PV diagram. (b) Determine (where unknown) V, T, and P for states 1, 2, and 3. (c) Calculate Q, W, ΔUt, and ΔHt for each step of the cycle

Question

1 mol of an ideal gas initially at 300 K and 1 bar undergoes a three-step mechanically reversible cycle in a closed system. In step 12, pressure increases isothermally to 5 bar; in step 23, pressure increases at constant volume; and in step 31, the gas returns adiabatically to its initial state. Take CP = (7/2)R and CV = (5/2)R.

(a) Sketch the cycle on a PV diagram.

(b) Determine (where unknown) V, T, and P for states 1, 2, and 3.

(c) Calculate Q, W, ΔUt, and ΔHt for each step of the cycle
