In 1816, Robert Stirling, a Scottish minister, patented an engine now known as the Stirling engine. The Stirling engine follows a four-process cycle: two isothermal processes and two constant-volume processes as shown in Figure P22.22. The working substance used in the Stirling engine never leaves the engine. There are no exhaust valves and no internal combustion; instead, the Stirling engine uses an external hot reservoir. Thus, the Stirling engine is very quiet and is used in applications where a quiet engine is important, such as on submarines. Today, the engine is being developed for a wider range of applications. FIGURE P22.22 a. Use Figure P22.22 to estimate the work done by a Stirling engine in one cycle. b. If the engine delivers 500 hp, how many cycles does it make per second? c. If the engine has an efficiency of 20%, how much input power does the engine require?

You are working as an assistant to a physics professor. She has seen some presentations you have made to your classes and is aware of your expertise in preparing presentation slides. Her laptop has crashed and she cannot access the presentation slides she needs for her lecture coming up in one hour. Her lecture is on entropy in engine cycles. She asks you to quickly generate two slides on your laptop, both showing TS diagrams, (a) one for the Carnot cycle and (b) one for the Otto cycle. As she leaves, you think, Uh-oh. Whats a TS diagram?
