An ideal gas with ? = 1.5 is used as the working substance in the cylinder of an engine undergoing a Carnot cycle. The temperature of the hot reservoir is 240?C, that of the cold, 50?C. The gas is expanded isothermally at 240?C from a pressure of 10 atm (1 atm = 1.01 ? 105 N m-2) and a volume of 1 liter to a pressure of 4 atm and a volume of 2.5 liters. Between what limits of pressure and volume does the gas operate when it is in thermal equilibrium with the cold reservoir?

Consider an engine in which the working substance is 1.23 mol of an ideal gas for which γ = 1.41. The engine runs reversibly in the cycle shown on the PVdiagram (see figure below). The cycle consists of an isobaric (constant pressure) expansion a at a pressure of 15.0 atm, during which the temperature of the gas increases from 300 K to 600 K, followed by an isothermal expansion b until its pressure becomes 3.00 atm. Next is an isobaric...

The volume of some air, assumed to be an ideal gas, in the cylinder of a car engine is 540cm^3 at a pressure of 1.1 x 10^5 Pa and a Temperature of 27 Degree celsius.
