A gas of nitrogen molecules is at a temperature of 1000K. In this case molecule has 3 translational, 2 rotational, and 2 vibrational degrees of freedom per molecule, i.e. a total of 7.
1.9. [1pt] Assuming the cycle operates as an engine, calculate the engine efficiency.
ANSWER
1.10. [1pt] If you are to build the most efficient engine using the highest and the lowest temperatures available from #9 how would the cycle look like on a PV-diagram [you need to indicate both cycles]
ANSWER
1.11 [1pt] What is the efficiency of the most efficient cycle in 1.10?
