13-72 Heat is transferred to a gas mixture contained in a piston cylinder device. The initial state and the final temperature
are given. The heat transfer is to be determined for the ideal gas and non-ideal gas cases.
Properties The molar masses of H2 and N2 are 2.0, and 28.0 kg/kmol. (Table A-1).

Q
(a) Assuming ideal gas behavior, the inlet and exit enthalpies of H2 and N2 are determined from the ideal gas tables to be
Thus,
H2 :
h1  h@160 K  4,535.4 kJ / kmol,
N2 :
h1  h@160 K  4,648 kJ / kmol,
h2  h@ 200 K  5,669.2 kJ / kmol
h2  h@ 200 K  5,810 kJ / kmol

(b) Using Amagat's law and the generalized enthalpy departure chart, the enthalpy change of each gas is determined to be
