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...

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 built...
We have seen that the Carnot cycle can be used to determine the maximum efficiency of a heat engine. The efficiency is defined as the sum of all of the work during the cycle divided by the amount of heat exchanged during the expansion process: efficiency=?1 +?2 +?3 +?3 /?1 Theoretically, the efficiency of the engine can be determined with the hot and cold temperature of the cycle. efficiency = ?h − ?c/ ?h In this problem, we will calculate...

Need help with problem 6 5. Consider the general Carnot cycle discussed in Lecture #9, in which we take a mole of ideal gas through a cyclic path of thermodynamic states and processes involving successive isothermal and adiabatic expansions and compressions. (a) Evaluate the work terms Wab and wcd for the isothermal steps, in terms of: the initial and final volumes involved; and the temperatures involved.
