Randall D. Knight β Heat Engines and Refrigerators: Problem 59
A heat engine uses a diatomic gas that follows the $pV$ cycle in FIGURE P21.59. (a) Determine the pressure, volume, and temperature at point 2. (b) Determine $\Delta E_{\text{th}}$, $W_s$, and $Q$ for each of the three processes. Put your results in a table for easy reading. (c) How much work does this engine do per cycle and what is its thermal efficiency?
