Question

(13%) Problem 5: A diatomic ideal gas goes through the cycle a b c d a as shown in the figure. Processes ab and cd are isothermal and occur at temperatures TH 420 K and Tc- 287 K, respectively. There are n 15 moles of this gas in the system, and the initial volume is Va = 0.088 m. 3% ©theexpel 25% Part (a) Calculate the work Wab, in joules, done by the gas during the process a b Grade S Potentia Submis (4% per 45 6 cotan asin0 atan acot sinhO cos 0 Degrees Radians Submit Hint I give up!

Explanation / Answer

work done in isothermal process Wab = 2.3026*n*R*TH*log(Vb/Va)

vb = 3*va

Wab = 2.3026*15*8.314*420*log(3) = 57544 J

------------------------


part(b)


work done = slope


heare the slope = 0

Wbc = 0


============================

Wcd = 2.3026*R*Tc*log(vd/vc)

Wcd = 2.3026*15*8.314*287*log(1/3)

Wcd = -39321.53 J

Wda = 0


total work = Wab + Wbc + Wcd + Wda


total work = 57544 - 39321.53 = 18222.47 J


---------------------------

part(d)

total heat flowing = Q = 57544 J
