An inventor has applied for a patent on a device that is claimed to utilize 1 mole/min
Question:
An inventor has applied for a patent on a device that is claimed to utilize 1 mole/min of air (assumed to be an ideal gas) with temperature independent CP = (7/2)R which enters at 500 K and 2 bar, and leaves at 350 K and 1 bar. The process is claimed to produce 2000 J/min of work and to require an undisclosed amount of heat transfer with a heat reservoir at 300 K. Should the inventor be issued a patent on this device?
