Step-by-step solution
5 stepsCalculate the mass of air ().
Using the ideal gas law at state 1:
Calculate the heat flow for each process.
The process consists of two parts:
- Constant pressure heating from to .
- Constant volume cooling from to , where .
Heat flow during constant pressure heating ():
Heat flow during constant volume cooling ():
Calculate the net heat flow (i).
The net heat flow is the sum of heat flows for both processes.
The net heat flow is .
Calculate the change in entropy for each process.
Change in entropy during constant pressure heating ():
Change in entropy during constant volume cooling ():
Calculate the overall change in entropy (ii).
The overall change in entropy is the sum of entropy changes for both processes.
The overall change in entropy is .
