- You have a particular interest in automobile engines, so you have secured a co-op position at an automobile company while you attend school. Your supervisor is helping you to learn about the operation of an internal combustion engine. She gives you the following assignment, related to a simulation of a new engine she is designing. A gas, beginning at PA = 1.00 atm, VA = 0.500 L, and TA = 27.0C, is compressed from point A on the PV diagram in Figure P19.31 (page 530) to point B. This represents the compression stroke in a fourcycle gasoline engine. At that point, 132 J of energy is delivered to the gas at constant volume, taking the gas to point C. This represents the transformation of potential energy in the gasoline to internal energy when the spark plug fires. Your supervisor tells you that the internal energy of a gas is proportional to temperature (as we shall find in Chapter 20), the internal energy of the gas at point A is 200 J, and she wants to know what the temperature of the gas is at point C. Figure P19.31arrow_forwardA thermodynamic cycle is shown in Figure P21.34 for a gas in a piston. The system changes states along the path ABCA. a. What is the total work done by the gas during this cycle? b. How much heat is transferred? Does heat flow into or out of the system? Figure P21.34arrow_forward(a) Determine the work done on a gas that expands from i to f as indicated in Figure P19.16. (b) What If?

- Figure P21.36 shows a cyclic thermodynamic process ABCA for an ideal gas. a. What is the net energy transferred into the system by heat during each cycle? b. What would be the net energy transferred into the system by heat if the cycle followed the path ACBA instead?

At point A, the pressure, volume, and temperature are Pi, Vi, and Ti, respectively. In terms of R and Ti, find (a) the total energy entering the system by heat per cycle, (b) the total energy leaving the system by heat per cycle, and (c) the efficiency of an engine operating in this cycle. (d) Explain how the efficiency compares with that of an engine operating in a Carnot cycle between the same temperature extremes.arrow_forwardA 50 W electric heater (1 W = 1 J/s) operates for 10.0 minutes to heat a gas in a cylinder.

Use the data: P1 = 1 atm, P2 = 4 atm, V1 = 5 L, V2 = 20 L. (Path AB is an "isothermal" which means the temperature T is constant on this path). a) 0.012 J b) 1220 J c) 0.0278 J d) 2809 Jarrow_forwardA helium-filled toy balloon has a gauge pressure of 0.195 atm and a volume of 8.5 L a)How much greater is the internal energy (in J) of the helium in the balloon than it would be if you released enough air to drop the gauge pressure to zero?

- A biology laboratory is maintained at a constant temperature of 7.00C by an air conditioner, which is vented to the air outside. On a typical hot summer day, the outside temperature is 27.0C and the air-conditioning unit emits energy to the outside at a rate of 10.0 kW. Model the unit as having a coefficient of performance (COP) equal to 40.0% of the COP of an ideal Carnot device. (a) At what rate does the air conditioner remove energy from the laboratory? (b) Calculate the power required for the work input. (c) Find the change in entropy of the Universe produced by the air conditioner in 1.00 h. (d) What If? The outside temperature increases to 32.0C. Find the fractional change in the COP of the air conditioner.arrow_forwardThe device shown in Figure CQ22.7, called a thermoelectric converter, uses a series of semiconductor cells to transform internal energy to electric potential energy, which we will study in Chapter 25. In the photograph on the left, both legs of the device are at the same temperature and no electric potential energy is produced. When one leg is at a higher temperature than the other as shown in the photograph on the right, however, electric potential energy is produced as the device extracts energy from the hot reservoir and drives a small electric motor. (a) Why is the difference in temperature necessary to produce electric potential energy in this demonstration? (b) In what sense does this intriguing experiment demonstrate the second law of thermodynamics?arrow_forwardA power plant has been proposed that would make use of the temperature gradient in the ocean.

(b) If the useful power output of the plant is 75.0 MW, how much energy is absorbed per hour? (c) In view of your answer to part (a), do you think such a system is worthwhile (considering that there is no charge for fuel)?arrow_forward
