In one stroke of a reciprocating compressor, Nitrogen is isothermally and reversibly compressed in a piston + cylinder from 298 K and 20 bar to 200 bar. Assume 2 moles of gas are processed per stroke, and the molecular weight of the Nitrogen is 28 kg/kmol, compute the heat removal (Q) and work (WEC) required in kJ/kg.

Two moles of nitrogen are initially at 10 bar and 600 K (state 1) in a horizontal piston/cylinder device. They are expanded adiabatically to 1 bar (state 2). They are then heated at constant volume to 600 K (state 3). Finally, they are isothermally returned to state 1. Assume that N 2 is an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity as given on the back flap of the book. Neglect the heat capacity of the piston/cylinder device. Suppose that...
