Interpretation:
It is impossible that two adiabatic reversible processes can intersect on
Concept Introduction:
From the second law of
Answer to Problem 5.1P
Hence, it is impossible that two adiabatic reversible processes can intersect on
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
It is given that two adiabatic reversible processes do intersect and complete the cycle on
From the given data, we plot a diagram on
Thus, AB is isothermal process; BC and AC are adiabatic reversible processes. This forms a cycle ABC where area inside the cycle is given as work.
Now, for the heat calculations, the adiabatic reversible processes have no heat transfer, so heat given by both process BC and AC are zero. So, heat transfer takes place only by the isothermal process which has only one single temperature
Two thermodynamic curves of same kind (isothermal, adiabatic, polytropic) never intersect each other on
