Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 65
A 2.00 mol diatomic gas initially at 300 K undergoes this cycle: It is (1) heated at constant volume to 800 K, (2) then allowed to expand isothermally to its initial pressure, (3) then compressed at constant pressure to its initial state. Assuming the gas molecules neither rotate nor oscillate, find (a) the net energy transferred as heat to the gas, (b) the net work done by the gas, and (c) the efficiency of the cycle.
π Solution Approach
Given: 300 K, 800 K
Find: (a) the net energy transferred as heat to the gas; (b) the net work done by the gas; (c) the efficiency of the cycle
