Hello,
First this may be pretty long and i apologize and appreciate any guidance.
I tend to give way to much information, so the straight to the point questions:
How important is it to take the non-required but recommended for graduate students courses as an undergrad? Namely Modern Optics...
thanks, that makes me feel better.
can you explain to me exactly why we take the absolute value? Just so i can understand it and apply it to future problems.
thanks again.
I think I understand. Work is actually equal to the sum of the heat. By me stating Qin - Qout I am taking the...
Ok, so I tried 3 different ways and started to post my questions on here, and while posting one of my questions, I think I answered it myself.
I stated that I wasnt sure how to relate the change in T to p and V, but I forgot about the ideal gas equation.
So I just solved for Q's like before...
Using Qh for heat absorbed and Ql for heat lost I was using the equation as:
n = w/Qh = (Qh +Ql)/Qh = 1 + Ql/Qh.
Ql being from (i) and Qh being from (ii). Q = 0 from (iii).
Qh = ∫Cv dT
Ql = ∫Cp dt + ∫pdV
For adiabatic ΔQ = 0 so ΔU = W.
Since, you are ending where you started ΔU for the...
Homework Statement
A possible ideal-gas cycle operates as follows:
(i) from an initial state (p1,V1) the gas is cooled at constant pressure to (p1,V2);
(ii) the gas is heated at constant volume to (p2,V2);
(iii) the gas expands adiabatically back to (p1,V1).
Assuming constant heat...
