A gas stream at 310 K and 14 bar is to be compressed to 345 bar before transmission by underground pipeline. If the compression is carried out adiabatically and reversibly, determine the compressor outlet temperature and the work of compression for the gas stream, which consists of (a) pure methane, (b) 95 mol % methane and 5 mol % ethane, (c) 5 mol % methane and 95 mol % ethane

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.160 mol of nitrogen at 1.80×105 Pa and 310 K . The nitrogen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas is first compressed isobarically to half its original volume. It then expands adiabatically back to its original volume, and finally it is heated isochorically to its original pressure. a.) Find the work done by the gas during the initial compression. b.)Find the heat added to the gas during the initial compression. c.)Find...
