Is it possible for a system to have an entropy change if it neither absorbs nor emits heat during a reversible? transition? What happens it the process is irreversible?
An ideal diesel cycle is shown below. This cycle consists of five strokes. In this case, only air is drawn into the chamber during the intake stroke OA. The air is then compressed adiabatically from state A to state B, raising its temperature high enough so that when fuel is added during the power stroke BC, it ignites. After ignition ends at C, there is a further adiabatic power stroke CD. Finally, there is an exhaust at constant volume as the pressure drops from pD to pA , followed by a further exhaust when the piston compresses the chamber volume to zero. (a) Use W=Q1Q2, Q1=nCp(TCTB) , and Q2=nCv(TDTA) to show that e=WQ11TDTA(TCTB). (b) Use the fact that AB and CD are adiabatic to show that e=11( V C V D )( V B V A )( V C V D )( V B V A ). (c) Since there is no preignition (remember, the chamber does not contain any fuel during the compression), the compression ratio can be larger than that for a gasoline engine. Typically, VA/VB=15 and VD/VC=5 . For these values and =1.4 , show that =0.56 , or an efficiency of 56%. Diesel engines actually operate at an efficiency of about 30% to 35% compared with 25% to 30% for gasoline engines.

An idealized diesel engine operates in a cycle known as the air-standard diesel cycle shown in Figure P18.48. Fuel is sprayed into the cylinder at the point of maximum compression, B. Combustion occurs during the expansion B C, which is modeled as an isobaric process. Show that the efficiency of an engine operating in this idealized diesel cycle is e=11(TDTATCTB) Figure P18.48.

A gun is a heat engine. In particular, it is an internal combustion piston engine that does not operate in a cycle, but comes apart during its adiabatic expansion process. A certain gun consists of 1.80 kg of iron. It fires one 2.40-g bullet at 320 m/s with an energy efficiency of 1.10%. Assume the body of the gun absorbs all the energy exhaustthe other 98.9%and increases uniformly in temperature for a short time interval before it loses any energy by heat into the environment. Find its temperature increase.
