One mole of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process ABCDA, as shown in (figure). Using the graph, calculate(i) Work done in the processes `ArarrB, BrarrC, CrarrD and DrarrA` (ii) Work done in complete cycle ABCDA (iii) Heat rejected by the gas in one complete cycle. |

Answer» (i) In process A to B, volume is constant `:. dW_(AB)= P.dV= Zero` In process BC `dW_(BC)= area BEFC =BExxBC` `=(5xx1.013xx10^(5)N//m^(2)xx50)J` `=2.53xx10^(7)J` In process CD, volume remains constant `:. dW_(CD)= P.dV=Zero` In process DA `dW_(DA)= area AEFD= AExxEF` `=(10xx1.013xx10^(5))xx(-50)` `= -5.06xx10^(7)J`. (ii) Net work done in complete cycle ABCDA `dW=dW_(AB)+dW_(BC)+dW_(CD)+dW_(DA)` `= 0+2.53xx10^(7)+0-5.06xxc10^(7)` `= -2.53xx10^(7)J` (iii) As the process is cyclic, `dU=0`. From first law of thermodynamics `dQ=dU+dW` `= 0-2.53xx10^(7)= -2.53xx10^(7)J` Negative sign shows that this much heat is rejected in one complete cycle. |
