Question
Two identical piston-cylinder devices are each filled with 1 kg air at T = 300 K and P= 2 bar.
Next, one of the gases undergoes a reversible and isothermal expansion, and the other
one expands isentropically.
Both of the gases stop expanding when their final volumes reach twice of their initial volumes.
[a) Sketch both of these processes on the same T-S plot. Indicate the direction of the expansion
process on the plot. (No need to express the values for T and S on the plot)
b) Sketch both of these processes on the same P-V plot. Indicate the direction of the expansion
process on the plot. (No need to express the values for P and V on the plot)
[ c) Calculate the heat transfer between the air and the surrounding for each process separately.
