One mole of an ideal gas in a closed piston/cylinder is reversibly compressed from 0.2
mpa to 1 mpa. the heat capacity at constant pressure cp is 5r/2, and the gas is initially at
350 k.
a. sketch a diagram for the system and find the energy balance equation. use the
complete energy balance equation and simplify it by making valid assumptions.
b. if the ideal gas is compressed at a constant volume, what are δu, δh, q, and wec for
this pathway?
c. if the ideal gas is compressed isothermally, what are δu, δh, q, and wec for this
pathway
