(a) Calculate the net heat interaction of the given system with the environment.
(b) Determine the change of enthalpy ΔH and change of Helmholtz free energy ΔA for the
system mentioned above.
2. In an isentropic process, an oxygen gas at 150 K is compressed from 30 bar to 100 bar with
an efficiency of 80%. Estimate the power required for the compressor if the gas flow rate is
10 kg/s. Assume that the above system obeys the Peng-Robinson equation of state with
Tc = 154.6 K, Pc = 50.46 bar, Cp = 29.3 J/mol K and an acentric factor of 0.021.

5. A constant latent heat of vaporization of 5×10! 𝐽 𝑚𝑜𝑙 exists along the coexistence curve for
a particular material. Consider one mole of this material is in a liquid-vapor equilibrium at
300K and 105 Pa. On heating at constant volume V of 0.01 m3, system pressure increases to
2×10! 𝑃𝑎 (Note that this is not a small ΔP). Find the initial and final mole fractions of vapor
