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.

11. Consider a Carnot cycle with 2.25 moles of a diatomic ideal gas as the working substance (assume Cv = 2.5*R). The following are the steps of the cycle: Step I: reversible, isothermal expansion at 300.0 °C from 10.00 L to 16.00 L. Step II: reversible, a diabatic expansion until the temperature decreases to 50.0 °C. Step III: reversible, isothermal compression at 50.0 °C. Step IV: reversible, adiabatic compression back to the initial conditions. A. Calculate q, w, ΔU, ΔH,...

An engine that operates by means of an ideal diatomic ideal gas in a piston with 2.70 moles of gas. The gas starts at point A with 3x103 Pa of pressure and 2.5x10-2 m3. To get from B from A, it is expanded by an isobaric process to double the initial volume. From B to C it expands adiabatically until it reaches three times the volume in A. From C to D the pressure decreases without changing the volume and...
