A cycle consists of two processes: (1) heating at constant pressure from state 1 to state 2, and (2) cooling at constant volume from state 2 to state 1. For air, assume R = 287 J/kg.K and k = 1.4. Sta

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Calculate the mass of air (mm).

    Using the ideal gas law at state 1: P1V1=mRT1P_1 V_1 = m R T_1

    m=P1V1RT1=(1.03×105 Pa)×(1 m3)(287 J/kg⋅K)×(288.15 K)=10300082685.05≈1.2457 kgm = \frac{P_1 V_1}{R T_1} = \frac{(1.03 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa}) \times (1 \, \text{m}^3)}{(287 \, \text{J/kg}\cdot\text{K}) \times (288.15 \, \text{K})} = \frac{103000}{82685.05} \approx 1.2457 \, \text{kg}
  2. Calculate the heat flow for each process.

    The process consists of two parts:

    1. Constant pressure heating from T1T_1 to T2T_2.
    2. Constant volume cooling from T2T_2 to T3T_3, where T3=T1T_3 = T_1.

    Heat flow during constant pressure heating (Q12Q_{12}):

    Q12=mcp(T2−T1)Q_{12} = m c_p (T_2 - T_1) Q12=(1.2457 kg)×(1.005 kJ/kg⋅K)×(573.15 K−288.15 K)Q_{12} = (1.2457 \, \text{kg}) \times (1.005 \, \text{kJ/kg}\cdot\text{K}) \times (573.15 \, \text{K} - 288.15 \, \text{K}) Q12=(1.2457)×(1.005)×(285)=356.59 kJQ_{12} = (1.2457) \times (1.005) \times (285) = 356.59 \, \text{kJ}

    Heat flow during constant volume cooling (Q23Q_{23}):

    Q23=mcv(T3−T2)Q_{23} = m c_v (T_3 - T_2) Q23=(1.2457 kg)×(0.718 kJ/kg⋅K)×(288.15 K−573.15 K)Q_{23} = (1.2457 \, \text{kg}) \times (0.718 \, \text{kJ/kg}\cdot\text{K}) \times (288.15 \, \text{K} - 573.15 \, \text{K}) Q23=(1.2457)×(0.718)×(−285)=−255.06 kJQ_{23} = (1.2457) \times (0.718) \times (-285) = -255.06 \, \text{kJ}
  3. Calculate the net heat flow (i).

    The net heat flow is the sum of heat flows for both processes.

    Qnet=Q12+Q23Q_{net} = Q_{12} + Q_{23} Qnet=356.59 kJ+(−255.06 kJ)=101.53 kJQ_{net} = 356.59 \, \text{kJ} + (-255.06 \, \text{kJ}) = 101.53 \, \text{kJ}

    The net heat flow is 101.53 kJ\boxed{\text{101.53 kJ}}.

  4. Calculate the change in entropy for each process.

    Change in entropy during constant pressure heating (ΔS12\Delta S_{12}):

    ΔS12=mcpln⁡(T2T1)\Delta S_{12} = m c_p \ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right) ΔS12=(1.2457 kg)×(1.005 kJ/kg⋅K)×ln⁡(573.15 K288.15 K)\Delta S_{12} = (1.2457 \, \text{kg}) \times (1.005 \, \text{kJ/kg}\cdot\text{K}) \times \ln\left(\frac{573.15 \, \text{K}}{288.15 \, \text{K}}\right) ΔS12=(1.2519885)×ln⁡(1.9891)=(1.2519885)×(0.6877)=0.8611 kJ/K\Delta S_{12} = (1.2519885) \times \ln(1.9891) = (1.2519885) \times (0.6877) = 0.8611 \, \text{kJ/K}

    Change in entropy during constant volume cooling (ΔS23\Delta S_{23}):

    ΔS23=mcvln⁡(T3T2)\Delta S_{23} = m c_v \ln\left(\frac{T_3}{T_2}\right) ΔS23=(1.2457 kg)×(0.718 kJ/kg⋅K)×ln⁡(288.15 K573.15 K)\Delta S_{23} = (1.2457 \, \text{kg}) \times (0.718 \, \text{kJ/kg}\cdot\text{K}) \times \ln\left(\frac{288.15 \, \text{K}}{573.15 \, \text{K}}\right) ΔS23=(0.8945)×ln⁡(0.5027)=(0.8945)×(−0.6877)=−0.6150 kJ/K\Delta S_{23} = (0.8945) \times \ln(0.5027) = (0.8945) \times (-0.6877) = -0.6150 \, \text{kJ/K}
  5. Calculate the overall change in entropy (ii).

    The overall change in entropy is the sum of entropy changes for both processes.

    ΔSoverall=ΔS12+ΔS23\Delta S_{overall} = \Delta S_{12} + \Delta S_{23} ΔSoverall=0.8611 kJ/K+(−0.6150 kJ/K)=0.2461 kJ/K\Delta S_{overall} = 0.8611 \, \text{kJ/K} + (-0.6150 \, \text{kJ/K}) = 0.2461 \, \text{kJ/K}

    The overall change in entropy is 0.2461 kJ/K\boxed{\text{0.2461 kJ/K}}.
