One can store energy by compressing air and use it later to power a turbine to create energy when needed. The air must be heated to make this effective, which can be accomplished by compressing the air under adiabatic conditions. This is called adiabatic compressed air energy storage (CAES). Inside a typical power plant, 5.8×10^6 kg of N2 gas is at 25 °C is compressed from atmospheric to pressure into a volume of 300,000 m3 (they use abandoned salt mines). The process is done reversibly and adiabatically. What is q, n, Vi, Pf, T, U,w, and H and for this process? (Cp,m = 29.12 J/K/mol and Cv,m = 20.80 J/K/mol for N2). Assume perfect gas behavior
