4) 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 absorbed by the gas at the lower temperature in the succeeding isothermal expansion. The efficiency of a refrigerator is: Tods Tc E-49absorbed - AWinput Tyds – Tods TH...

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...
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...
One mole of an ideal mono-atomic gas is in a state A characterized by a temperature TA. The gas is then subjected to a succession of three quasi-static reversible processes: An isothermal expansion A → B, which increases the volume by a factor y. The expansion factor is therefore y = VB / VA> 1. An adiabatic compression B → C which increases the pressure by a factor w. The compression factor is w = pC / pB> 1. A...
A Carnot engine operates us ing 1.0 mol e of monoatomic ideal gas as a working s ubstance. In t he first step, the gas is place d in thermal contact with a heat reservoir and expands isothermally to 3 .0 times its initial volume.

Learning Goal:
To understand what a heat engine is and its theoretical
limitations.
Ever since Hero demonstrated a crude steam turbine in ancient
Greece, humans have dreamed of converting heat into work. If a fire
can boil a pot and make the lid jump up and down, why can't heat be
made to do useful work?
A heat engine is a device designed to convert heat into work.
The heat engines we will study will be cyclic: The working

Air in a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle (4 internally reversible processes, shown in the figure below). The isothermal expansion and compression processes occur at TH 1400 K and Tc-350 K, respectively. The pressure at the beginning and end of the isothermal compression are p4-100 kPa and pi - 500 kPa, respectively Assume the ideal gas model for the air: ai 0.717 J/g.K Mair- 28.97 g/mol kpv.air 1.4 R 8.314J /(mol K) Adiabatic Isothermal expansion Adiabatic compression Gas...
