a) Describe thermodynamically what occurs when a gas expands
adiabatically in a refrigeration
cycle. Include a detailed p-v sketch with labels for the state and
condition. What happens
to v, T, h, s? What does it mean for a thermodynamic process to be
reversible?
b)Given a thermodynamic power cycle, where a gas in a
piston-cylinder system is expanded
with irreversibilities, sketch a detailed p-v diagram comparing it
to a Carnot cycle. Label all
necessary states and conditions to appropriately describe the
differences between the two
systems. Indicate what is the difference in enthalpy and entropy
between the irreversible
and Carnot cycle.
Please find below attached images for your solution.
I hope i am able to solve your problem ?.
Good luck and best wishes.

Exactly 1 mol of a monatomic ideally-behaving gas expands adiabatically from State 1 to State 2. P-15.70 atm Vi3.75wt T=??? P2=??? V2=11.40 L T2-??? Now, we already know what ASadiabat for the process is. But what I want you to do is propose two hypothetical steps (e.g., the gas undergoes Step A from State 1 to some intermediate State X, and then undergoes Step B from State X to State 2) that add up to the net adiabatic path from...
An engine using a polyatomic (atoms not in a row) ideal gas is driven by this cycle: from A to B, the pressure increase to 3 times its original pressure while keeping V constant; from B to C, it expands adiabatically until it reaches 4 times the original volume; from C to D, the pressure drops at constant V; from D to A it contracts adiabatically. (a) Sketch the cycle, indicating P, V, and T, for all points. (b) What...

Let T,, P1, E1, S, Al, Hi, G, be the temperature, pressure, energy, entropy, Helmholtz free energy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy of the ideal gas at this state, respectively V1 V2-V Using Sackur-Tetrode equation for the entropy of ideal gas where kB R/NA is Boltzmann's constant...
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...
