One cubic meter of argon is taken from 1 bar and 25°C to 10 bar and 300°C by each of the following two-step paths. For each path, compute Q, W, ΔU, and ΔH for each step and for the overall process. Assume mechanical reversibility and treat argon as an ideal gas with CP = (5/2)R and CV = (3/2)R.
(c) Adiabatic compression followed by isochoric heating or cooling.
(d) Adiabatic compression followed by isothermal compression or expansion.
