What is the difference between isothermal and adiabatic? 300 cm3 of an ideal diatomic gas at a pressure of 1 atmosphere and a temperature of 300 K (i.e. room temperature) is contained by a cylinder with a piston top. A camshaft turns and drives the piston further into the cylinder, reducing the volume to 100 cm3 . (a) What is the final pressure if this compression takes place isothermally? What is the final pressure and temperature if the compression takes...

Efficiency An ideal diatomic gas is used in a reversible heat cycle. The gas begins in state A with pressure 100 kPa, temperature300 K, and volume 0.50 L. It first undergoes an isochoric heating to state B with temperature 900 K. That is followed by an isothermal expansion to state C. Finally, an isobaric compression that returns the gas to state A. (a)Determine the pressure, volume, and temperature of state B. (b)Determine the pressure, volume, and temperature of state C....
