Five kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly from 2 bar, 280 K to 20 bar, 520 K. If the carbon dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Five kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly from 2 bar, 280 K to 20 bar, 520 K. If the carbon dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, determine the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K. Assuming;

a) constant specific heats Cp = 0.939 kJ/Kg K

b) variable specific heats

a) the amount of entropy produced is 0.731599 kJ/K

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.69845 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

5 kg of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas undergoes a process in a well-insulated piston-cylinder assembly.

m = 5 kg

Molar mass M = 44.01 g/mol

P₁ = 2 bar, P₂ = 20

T₁ = 280 K, P₂ = 520 K

Since its insulated { q = 0 } ( kinetic and potential energy effects = 0 )

Now,

a) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K, Assuming constant specific heats with Cp = 0.939 kJ/Kg K

S = m × ((Cp × In( T₂/T₁) - R × In( P₂/p₁ ))

we substitute

S = 5 × (( 0.939  × In( 520/280) - 0.1889 × In( 20/2 ))

= 5 × ( 0.5812778 - 0.434958 )

= 5 × 0.1463198

= 0.731599 kJ/K

Therefore, the amount of entropy produced is 0.731599 kJ/K

b) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K, Assuming variable specific heats.

Now, from  Table A-23: Ideal Gas Properties of Selected Gases;

T₁,T₂ : s₁⁰ = 211.376 kJ/kmol-K, s₂⁰ = 236.575 kJ/kmol-K

now, s₁ = s₁⁰ / M and s₂ = s₂⁰ / M

we substitute

s₁ = s₁⁰ / M = 211.376 / 44.01  = 4.8029 kJ/kg

s₂ = s₂⁰ / M = 236.575 / 44.01 = 5.37548 kJ/kg

S = m × (( s₂ - s₁ ) - R × In( p₂ / p₁ ))

we substitute

S = 5 × (( 5.37548 - 4.8029  ) - 0.1880 × In( 20 / 2 ))

= 5 × ( 0.57258 - 0.432885997 )

= 5 × 0.13969

= 0.69845 kJ/K

Therefore, the amount of entropy produced is 0.69845 kJ/K

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
