8. A refrigerator may be regarded as the inverse of a steam engine, in that work is performed in order to remove heat from a system. It may be regarded as a steam engine run in reverse (i.e. the first step is a reversible adiabatic expansion from Th to Tc.) Heat is removed from the gas at the lower temperature in the succeeding isothermal expansion. The efficiency of a refrigerator is: Er = Aqoutput /Awinput Assuming a refrigerator can be...

3. (20 pts) In the Carnot engine (refer to the figure in question 2), an ideal gas undergoes a cycle of isothermal expansion (A → B), adiabatic expansion (B → C), isothermal compression (C → D), and adiabatic compression (D → A). All processes are assumed to be reversible. The volumes at the points are given that 2VA=VB and VC=2VD. Th is 650 °C and Tc is 30 °C. (1) Calculate the amount of heat added to one mole gas...
11. A reversible heat engine uses a three-step cycle consisting of an isothermal expansion at temperature Ti, a constant volume cooling to temperature T2, and adiabatic compression back to the initial state. (a) Sketch the P-V diagram (b) If 1 mole of a van der Waals gas is used the working material, the efficiency of this engine is defined to be E = Suppose that the heat capacity of gas is independent of temperature. Show that the efficiency of the...
earning Goal: To understand that a heat engine run backward is a heat pump that can be used as a refrigerator. By now you should be familiar with heat engines--devices, theoretical or actual, designed to convert heat into work. You should understand the following: Heat engines must be cyclical; that is, they must return to their original state some time after having absorbed some heat and done some work). Heat engines cannot convert heat into work without generating some waste...
Problem 8: Consider the reversible Carnot's cycle of an ideal monatomic gas in the cold cylinder of 290 K corresponding to the isothermal compression step. Then the volume of the gas is further compressed by a factor of 7.5 in the adiabatic compression step. a) Find the temperature at the final step of the adiabatic compression. b) What is Thot for the isothermal expansion step? c) What is the maximum thermodynamic efficiency for this engine? d) How much would the...
A friend passionate about cars mentions that Toyota has developed an engine with a thermal efficiency of 40% which is an extraordinary accomplishment! 1) Supposing this engine is ideal and based on the Carnot cycle, and also assuming that the cold reservoir temperature is 300 K, what is the hot reservoir temperature to meet the stated efficiency? You mention your result to this friend who points out correctly that the temperature of the hot reservoir would essentially be the temperature...
