Example 2.9 The same gas as in the previous example is compressed isothermally from 1 atm and 70 °F to 5 atm.  Find the point and path functions.  V1 = 386.6 ft3/lbmol

 

Solution

$                 Internal energy change for ideal gas (ΔU) (Equation 2.32):

 

 

$                 Work done by the system, W (Equation 2.33):

 

 

$                 Heat added to the system, Q (Equation 2.21)

 

 

$                 Entropy change, ΔS (Equation 2.34):

 

 

$                 Final volume, V2 (Equation 2.35):
