    Gas Ideal gas
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a thermodynamic cycle involving 1.0 mol of a monatomic ideal gas, where the gas undergoes heating at constant volume, isothermal expansion, and constant pressure compression. Participants seek assistance in calculating the net energy entering the system as heat, the net work done by the gas, and the cycle's efficiency. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to approach the problem, prompting requests for guidance. The conversation highlights the complexities of thermodynamic calculations and the need for collaborative problem-solving. Overall, the thread emphasizes the challenges faced in understanding ideal gas behavior in thermodynamic processes.

Suppose 1.0 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially at 10 L and 338 K is heated at constant volume to 676 K, allowed to expand isothermally to its initial pressure, and finally compressed at constant pressure to its original volume, pressure, and temperature.
(a) What is the net energy entering the system (the gas) as heat during the cycle? (b) What is the net work done by the gas during the cycle? (c) What is the efficiency of the cycle?

Anyone can help me with this too?

I don't know how to solve it. That's the problem. Can you help me with it?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
