QUESTION:

Two m3 of air in a rigid, insulated container fitted with a paddle wheel is initially at 293 K, 200 kPa. The air receives 710 kJ by work from the paddle wheel. Assuming the ideal gas model with \(c_{v}=0.72 \mathrm{\ kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\), determine for the air (a) the mass, in kg, (b) final temperature, in K, and (c) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.
