Consider the separation of air (considered 79 \% \mathrm{~N}_2, 21 \% \mathrm{O}_2 ) at 25°C and 1 bar into its components, also at 25°C and 1 bar.
(a) Compute the entropy and enthalpy changes for this process, per mol of air separated.
(b) Assuming a surroundings temperature of 25°C, what is the minimum possible work input per mol air separated required to achieve this separation in a steady-flow process?
