1
kg of N2 at 100 kPa and 20oC. The gas is now electrically
heated to four times the original volume at constant pressure. Determine
(a) the final temperature, (b) electrical work, (c) entropy generation,
(d) reversible work, and (e) the irreversibility during the process. Assume
the ambient temperature and pressure to be 20oC and 100 kPa.
What-If Scenario:
How do the answers change if the gas is hydrogen instead?
Solution: Step-by-step
instructions as well as the TEST-Code can be found in the Tutorial>Daemons>Closed
Processes>Practice page. An image of the Process
Panel is shown below. The daemon recognizes the process as a constant pressure
process and automatically calculates the boundary work. For more details
