Air, m = 1 kg
P1 = 10 bar
R = 0.287 kJ/kg k Now,
∆s = S2 – S1= mcpln T2 0 - mRln P2 T1 P1 = - 1 × 0.287 ln 1 10
= 0.66 kJ/kg k
∴ ∆s = 0.66 kJ/kg kCorrect Option: A

∆ S = Cpln T2 - R ln P2 T1 P1
Tds = dh – vdp
= Cp dt – vdpds = Cpdt - R dp T P ds = cpln - R ln P2 T P1
Correct Option: A
∆ S = Cpln T2 - R ln P2 T1 P1
Tds = dh – vdp
= Cp dt – vdpds = Cpdt - R dp T P ds = cpln - R ln P2 T P1
- An ideal gas undergoes a process from state 1 (T1 = 300 K, p1 = 100 kPa) to state 2 (T2 = 600 K, p2 = 500 kPa). The specific heats of the ideal gas are: cp = 1 kJ/kg-K and cv = 0.7 kJ/kg-K. The change in specific entropy of the ideal gas from state 1 to state 2 (in kJ/kg-K) is _________ (correct to two decimal places)

Ideal gas
State - 1: T1 = 300 K, P1 = 100 kPa
State - 2: T2 = 600 K, P2 = 500 kPa,
cp = 1 kJ/kg-K, cp – cv = R, cv = 0.7 kJ/kg-K
⇒ cp – cv = 1 – 0.7 = R
R = 0.3 kJ/kg– K
Change in specific entropy= 1 ×ln 600 - R ln P2 300 P1
Correct Option: A
