Problem 1: a) Calculate the amount of work necessary for the reversible compression of 1 kg of steam from 3 bar to 7 bar. The compression is to take place in a cylinder fitted with a weightless piston at the constant temperature of 250 °C.
b) Calculate the amount of heat, if any, associated with this process.
Problem 2: a) Calculate the amount of work necessary for the reversible compression of 1 kg of steam from 10 bar to 5 bar. The expansion is to take place in a cylinder fitted with a weightless piston at the constant temperature of 400 °C.
b) Calculate the amount of heat associated with this process.
