Question
(b)
A fixed mass of the ideal gas argon initially occupies a volume of 3 litres at a
pressure of 3 MPa. An isometric process, followed by an isentropic process, brings
the gas to an equilibrium state at 400°C, 4 MPa and 4 litres volume. An isobaric
process finally brings the gas back to a different equilibrium state at the initial
temperature. Determine:
(i)
the mass of gas in the closed system.
(ii)
the temperature, volume, and pressure of the gas, at each of the four
states.
(iii) the overall change in entropy between the initial and final states.
(iv) the work transfer in each of the three processes and the overall work
transfer.
