An ideal gas of mass $$m$$ and temperature $${T_1}$$ undergoes a reversible isothermal process from an initial pressure $${P_1}$$ to final pressure $$P{}_2.$$ The heat loss during the process is $$Q$$. The entropy changes $$\Delta S$$ of the gas is

In an experimental set-up, air flows between two stations $$P$$ and $$Q$$ adiabatically. The direction of flow depends on the pressure and temperature conditions maintained at $$P$$ and $$Q$$. The conditions at station $$P$$ are $$150$$ $$kPa$$ and $$350$$ $$K.$$ The temperature at station $$Q$$ is $$300$$ $$K.$$ The following are the properties and relations pertaining to air:

Specific heat at constant pressure, $$${C_p} = 1.005\,\,kJ/kg\,\,K;$$$
Specific heat at constant volume, $$${C_v} = 0.718\,\,kJ/kg\,\,K;$$$
Characteristic gas constant, $$R=0.287$$ $$kJ/kgK.$$
Enthalpy $$h = {C_p}T,$$
Internal energy, $$u = {C_v}T.$$

If the pressure at station $$Q$$ is $$50$$ $$kPa,$$ the change in entropy $$\left( {{S_Q} - {S_p}} \right)$$ in $$kJ/kgK$$ is
