An ideal gas undergoes the following Carnot Cycle. It starts in a chamber of volume .0065 m³ and temperature 345 Kelvin and pressure 630 kPa (state 1). It is allowed to expand isothermally to a volume of .01066 m³ (state 2) while heat is added to the gas. Then it expands adiabatically to a volume of .01784 m³ (state 3). Then, it is compressed isothermally to a volume of V_f m³ (state 4) while heat is extracted from the gas. Finally, it returns to its initial state in an adiabatic process. (The gamma of the gas, γ = 1.28, C_v = 3.5R).

How much heat is added in the 1^st isothermal process and the efficiency of this engine?

a.)1.878 kJ, 11.2%

b.) 2.029 kJ, 11.2%

c.) 2.029 kJ, 13.6%

d.) 2.334 kJ, 13.6%

e.) 2.334 kJ, 15.8%

Expert Solution

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 ideal gas with f = 3 degrees of freedom starts with a volume of 6 liters, a pressure of 1.1×10^5 Pa and a temperature of 20◦C. The gas is compressed adiabatically to 2 liters, then expands at constant temperature back to 6 liters. Then it is again adiabatically compressed to 2 liters, and isothermally expands to 6 liters. Draw the 4 steps in a P −V diagram. Calculate the ﬁnal pressure and ﬁnal temperature.

Starting from volume VA and pressure PA, an ideal gas undergoes the following three-stage, reversible, cyclic process: (i) adiabatic expansion to volume VB, then (ii) isochoric heating to pressure PA, then (iii) isobaric cooling to volume VA. Draw this process on a P V -diagram, and evaluate the change in the entropy of the system (∆S), for each stage. Show that the sum of these entropy changes is zero, as it should be since the system returns to its initial...
