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...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is compressed in a piston–cylinder assembly from p1 = 0.7 bar, T1 = 280 K to p2 = 14 bar. The initial volume is 0.2 m3. The process is described by pV1.25 = constant. Assuming ideal gas behavior and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the work and heat transfer for the process, each in kJ, using constant specific heats evaluated at 300 K, and data from Table A-23.

In a cylinder/piston arrangement, air is compressed in a reversible polytropic process to a final state of 800 kPa, 500 K. Initially air is at 110 kPa and 25oC. During the compression process heat transfer takes place with the ambient maintained at 25oC.
