A heat engine using a monatomic gas follows the cycle shown in
the ??pV diagram.
The gas starts out at point 1 with a volume of ?1=318 cm3,V1=318
cm3, a pressure of ?1=235 kPa,p1=235 kPa, and a temperature of 287
K.287 K. The gas is held at a constant volume while it is heated
until its temperature reaches 455 K455 K (point 2). The gas is then
allowed to expand adiabatically until its pressure is again 235
kPa235 kPa (point...
