A piston-cylinder contains nitrogen initially at 100 kPa, 20°C, and a volume of 0.283 m³ (State 1). The nitrogen undergoes two processes. First, the nitrogen is compressed to 7000 kPa (State 2) in an isothermal process. Finally, the nitrogen is expanded to 100 kPa (State 3) in a reversible adiabatic process. You may assume that nitrogen is an ideal gas with constant (average) specific heats: Cp = 1.039 kJ/kgK, c, = 0.742 kJ/kgK, and R = 0.297 kJ/kgK.

An inventor claims to have created a machine that isothermally compresses 1 lbmol/hr of anideal gas at 1000 oR releasing 3000 Btu which is transferred to another 1 lbmol/hr of idealgas that expands isothermally from 2.72 atm to 1 atm. Is such a device possible or does thisprocess violate the second law? Assume the process is reversible. R = 1.987 Btu/lbmol oR.
A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 400K. During a constant pressure, process, 960 kJ of heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 300K. As a result, part of the water vapor contained in the cylinder condenses. Determine the entropy change of the water in kJ/K.

An ideal gas with R=0.062 BTU/lbm-R and Cv=0.158 BTU/lbm-R undergoes a three-cycle in a closed system. From the initial state of 20 psia and 570 R, the gas is compressed at a constant temperature of 1/5 of its initial volume, process 1-2; it is then heated isochorically to state 3, process 2-3; and finally, expands polytropically with index n=1.5 back to its initial state, process 3-1. Determine the pressures, specific volumes and temperatures at cardinal points around the cycle and the cycle thermal efficiency.
