Question:

Reconsider Prob. 7-78. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effect of varying the polytropic exponent from 1 to 1.4 on the entropy change of the nitrogen. Show the processes on a common P-v diagram.
Prob. 7-78
A piston-cylinder device contains 0.75 kg of nitrogen gas at 140 kPa and 37°C. The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3 = constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half.
