Final temperature in reversible expansion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the final temperature, total heat transferred, and total entropy change for a reversible expansion of an ideal monatomic gas. The final temperature is derived as 1000(a/b)^(2/3). The total heat transferred to the gas is expressed as 1000Rln(a) + 1000R(a/b)^(2/3)ln(c/b). The total entropy change is calculated using the formula Rln(ac/b). The calculations provided appear to be correct based on the initial conditions and equations given.

Homework Statement



One mole of an ideal monatomic gas initially at volume Vi and temperature 1000k expands to a final volume Cvi in three reversible steps: 1) isothermal expansion from Vi to aVi, 2) adiabatic expansion from aVi to bVi and 3) isothermal expansion from bVi to Cvi

In terms of a,b,c calculate
a) final temperature
b) total heat transferred to gas
c) total entropy change


Homework Equations



TV^γ-1=C
Q=nrtln(V1V2)
ds= dq/dt


The Attempt at a Solution



a) final temperature = 1000(a/b)^2/3

b) heat transferred = 1000Rlna + 1000R(a/b)^2/3ln(c/b)

c) entropy change = Rln(ac/b)

Could someone check these for me please?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
