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.

(c)Compute the work and heat exchanged with the gas going from state A to B.

(d)Compute the work and heat exchanged with the gas going from state B to C.

(e)Compute the work and heat exchanged with the gas going from state C to A.

(f)Compute the efficiency of the heat cycle.
