Is it possible to determine whether a change in internal energy is caused by heat transferred, by work performed, or by a combination of the two? `
In a quasi-static isobaric expansion, 500 J of work are done by the gas. The gas pressure is 0.80 atm and it was originally at 20.0 L. If the internal energy of the gas increased by 80 J in the expansion, how much heat does the gas absorb?

In a diesel engine, the fuel is ignited without a spark plug. Instead, air in a cylinder is compressed adiabatically to a temperature above the ignition temperature of the fuel; at the point of maximum compression, the fuel is injected into the cylinder. Suppose that air at 20 C is taken into the cylinder at a volume V1 and then compressed adiabatically and quasi-statically to a temperature of 600 C and a volume V2 . If =1.4 , what is the ratio V1/V2 ? (Note: static. In an operating diesel engine, the compression is not quasi-

Check your Understanding Show that QhQh=QcQc for the hypothetical engine of Figure 4.10 The second property to be demonstrated is that all reversible engines operating between the same two reservoirs have the same efficiency. To this, stat with the two engines D and E of Figure 4.10 (a), which are operating between two common heat reservoirs at temperatures Th and Tc . First, assume that D is a reversible engine and that E is a hypothetical irreversible engine that has a higher efficiency than D. If both engines perform the same amount of work W per cycle, it follows from Equation 4.2 that QhQh . It then follows from the first law that QcQc . Figure 4.10 (a) Two uncoupled engines D and E working between the same reservoirs. (b) The engines, With D working reverse. Suppose the cycle of D is so that it operates as a refrigerator, and the two engines are coupled such that the work output of E is used to drive D, as shown in Figure 4.10(b). Since QhQh and QcQc , the net result of each cycle is equivalent to a spontaneous transfer of heat from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir, a process second law does not allow. The original assumption must therefore be wrong, and it is impossible to construct an irreversible engine such that E is more efficient than the reversible engine D. Now it is quite easy to demonstrate that the efficiencies of all reversible engines operating between the same reservoirs are equal. Suppose that D and E are reversible engines. If they are as shown in Figure 4.10(b), the efficiency of E cannot be greater than the efficiency of D, or second law would violated. If both engines are then reversed, the same reasoning implies that the efficiency of D cannot be greater than the efficiency of E. Combining these results leads to the conclusion that all reversible engines working between same two reservoirs have the same efficiency.
