Problem 3.24:
A process consists of two steps: (1) One mole of air at T = 800 K and P = 4 bars are cooled at constant
volume to T = 350 K. (2) The air is then heated air constant pressure until its temperature reaches 800 K.
If this two step process is replaced by a single isothermal expansion of the air from 800 K and 4 bar to
some final pressure P, what is the value of P that makes the work of two step processes the same? Assume
mechanical reversibility and treat air as an ideal gas with CP = (7/2) R and CV = (5/2) T.
Given Data:

cylinder is filled with a gas to low pressure P 1, and connected through a small line and valve to an
evacuated reference tank of known volume V tA . The valve is opened, and the gas flows through the line
into the reference tank. After the system returns to its initial temperature, a sensitive pressure transducer
provides a valve for the pressure change ∆ P in the cylinder. Determine the cylinder volume V tB
