Randall D. Knight β Heat Engines and Refrigerators: Problem 64
A heat engine with $0.20\text{ mol}$ of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a $2000\text{ cm}^3$ cylinder at $600\text{ K}$. The gas goes through the following closed cycle: Isothermal expansion to $4000\text{ cm}^3$. Isochoric cooling to $300\text{ K}$. Isothermal compression to $2000\text{ cm}^3$. Isochoric heating to $600\text{ K}$. How much work does this engine do per cycle and what is its thermal efficiency?
