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).

(a) Assuming ideal gas behavior, the inlet and exit enthalpies of H2 and N2 are determined from the ideal gas tables to be

H2 : h1  h@160 K  4,535.4 kJ / kmol, h2  h@ 200 K  5,669.2 kJ / kmol

N2 : h1  h@160 K  4,648 kJ / kmol, h2  h@ 200 K  5,810 kJ / kmol

Thus, Qideal  3  5,669.2  4,535.4   0.75  5,810  4,648  4273 kJ

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