A cycle followed by an engine (made of one mole of an ideal gas in a cylinder with a piston) is shown in Fig. 12.11. Find heat exchanged by the engine, with the surroundings for each section of the cycle. (Cv = (3/2) R)AB : constant volumeBC : constant pressureCD : adiabaticDA : constant pressure

Answer»

QAB = UAB = (3/2)R(TB - TA) = (3/2)

QBc = UBC + WBC

= (3/2) PB(VC - VB) + PB(VC - VB)

= (5/2) PB(VC - VA)

QCA = 0

QDA = (5/2) PA (VA - VD)
