A heat engine is a system that converts heat into mechanical work. A heat "source" generates thermal energy that brings a workingsubstanceto a high temperature. The working substance then generates work in the engine while transferring heat to a sink at a lower temperature . The working of a heat engine is shownn figure 1. Heat engines can be modelled using themodynamic cycles. The heat engine given in Figure -2 is of a working substance which is 1.00 mol of a monoatomic ideal gas . The thermodynamic cycle begins at the point designated as '1' and goes clockwise and the values of P and l or Vat each point is as given belowFig-2 (P_(1)=1.00 atm "and" V_(1) = 24.6 L , P_(2)=2.00 atm , V_(3) =49.2L, P_(4)=1.00 atm) (a) What is the entropy change of the system for the complete cycle? (b) If the cycle is reversible , what is the temperature T_(3)? |
