Consider a heat engine consisting of two cylinders. Fuel is burned externally to warm one of the two cylinders, and n moles of an ideal monatomic gas (with molar heat capacity at constant volume Cy=3R/2) moves cyclically between the cylinders, expanding in the hot cylinder at temperature T2 and contracting in the cold cylinder at temperature T1. In a cycle of operation, the gas goes through the following sequence of steps: (i) Step ab: Isochoric heat transfer into the gas, making it change state from a at temperature T1 to b at temperature T2. (ii) Step bc: Isothermal expansion at temperature T, from state b with volume V to state c with volume rV, where r is a constant greater than unity. (iii) Step cd: Isochoric heat removal in going from state c at temperature T2 to state d at temperature T1. (iv) Step da: Isothermal compression at temperature T1 from state d with volume rV to state a with volume V. For this cycle, obtain the heat transfer to the engine Qh, the work done by the engine W, and the efficiency e.
