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
