Chapter 20, Problem 20.57P

DATA You are conducting experiments to study prototype heat engines. In one test, 4.00 mol of argon gas are taken around the cycle shown in Fig. P20.57. The pressure is low enough for the gas to be treated as ideal. You measure the gas temperature in states a, b, c, and d and find Ta = 250.0 K, Tb = 300.0 K, Tc = 380.0 K, and Td = 316.7 K. (a) Calculate the efficiency e of the cycle. (b) Disappointed by the cycle’s low efficiency, you consider doubling the number of moles of gas while keeping the pressure and volume the same. What would e be then? (c) You remember that the efficiency of a Carnot cycle increases if the temperature of the hot reservoir is increased. So, you return to using 4.00 mol of gas but double the volume in states c and d while keeping the pressures the same. The resulting temperatures in these states are Tc = 760.0 K and Td = 633.4 K. Ta and Tb remain the same as in part (a). Calculate e for this cycle with the new Tc and Td values. (d) Encouraged by the increase in efficiency, you raise Tc and Td still further. But e doesn’t increase very much; it seems to be approaching a limiting value. If Ta = 250.0 K and Tb = 300.0 K and you keep volumes Va and Vb the same as in part (a), then Tc/Td = Tb/Ta and Tc = 1.20Td. Derive an expression for e as a function of Td for this cycle. What value does e approach as Td becomes very large?

A certain diatomic gas has the same specific heats as an ideal gas but a slightly different equation of state: PV = R(T + αT²), α = 0.001K¯¹. The temperature of the gas is raised from T₁ = 300K to 12 at constant pressure. It is found that work done on the gas is 70% higher than what would be on an ideal gas. Choose the correct statement(s). A. T₂ = 400K internal energy increases by 250R/mole B. T₂ = 400K internal energy increases by 350R/mole C. Total heat absorbed in the process is 450R/mole D. Total heat absorbed in the process is 520R/mole
