Homework Statement
In the problem, we were to derive work and heat for each leg of the cycle. Then we are asked:
In the definition of the efficiency of this cycle, η =W Qpos , where Qpos is the total positive heat flow to the engine, what is the efficiency of the cycle when Th = 700K and
Tc =...
Homework Statement
Consider the ideal Stirling cycle working between a maximum temperature Th and min temp Tc, and a minimum volume V1 and a maximum volume V2. Suppose that the working gas of the cycle is 0.1 mol of an ideal gas with cv = 5R/2.
A) what are the heat flows to the cycle during...
