Hi people,
Who can help me solve this problem?
One mole of an ideal monatomic gas at STP first undergoes an isothermal expansion so that the volume at point b is 2.5times the volume of point a. Next, the heat is extracted at a constant volume so that the pressure drops. The gas is then compressed adiabatically back to the original state.
Question a:
Calcultate the pressures at point b and point c
Question b:
Determine the temperature at point c
Question c:
Determine the work done, heat input or extracted, and the change in entropy for each process.
Question d:
What is the efficiency of this cycle>?
Question e:
WHat is the change in entropy 'delta s' for one complete cycle a->b->c->a? Explain your reasoning
Question f:
In which part of the cycle does the entropy, S, show the greatest decrease? Explain your reasoning
Many thanxxx
