A Carnot engine operates between temperatures of 200 K and 350 K. In each cycle, 4000 J of heat is added to the ideal gas. This engine works on 0.5 mols of a diatomic gas.

A) Calculate the volume ratio for just the adiabatic expansion.

B) Determine the compression ratio - the highest volume divided by the lowest.

C) If you reversed the cycle, how much work would be necessary to pull 100 J of heat from the cold temperature reservoir?

Expert Solution

Here we apply concept of Carnot cycle and first law of thermodynamics.

An engine operates in a Carnot cycle. At point A in the cycle, 2.34 mol of a monatomic ideal gas has a pressure of 1,400 kPa, a volume of 10.0 L, and a temperature of 720 K. The gas expands isothermally to point B and then expands adiabatically to point C, where its volume is 24.0 L. An isothermal compression brings it to point D, where its volume is 15.0 L. An adiabatic process returns the gas to point A....
