Solved: Oxygen gas is compressed in a pistoncylinder
Chapter 8, Problem 836E(choose chapter or problem)
Oxygen gas is compressed in a pistoncylinder device from an initial state of 12 ft3 /lbm and 758F to a final state of 1.5 ft3 /lbm and 5258F. Determine the reversible work input and the increase in the exergy of the oxygen during this process. Assume the surroundings to be at 14.7 psia and 758F.

QUESTION:
Oxygen gas is compressed in a pistoncylinder device from an initial state of 12 ft3 /lbm and 758F to a final state of 1.5 ft3 /lbm and 5258F. Determine the reversible work input and the increase in the exergy of the oxygen during this process. Assume the surroundings to be at 14.7 psia and 758F.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Oxygen gas is compressed from a specified initial state to a final specified state. The reversible work and the increase in the exergy of the oxygen during this process are to be determined.
We assume that at specified conditions, oxygen can be treated as an ideal gas with constant specific heats.
