Question

**Volume is in increments of 2 m^3

QUESTION At the completion of one full cycle, find the following...

(a) Net work done by the system.

Answer: 300 kJ (solved it like the area of a triangle)

(b) The net change in internal energy of the system.

Answer: ? kJ

(c) The net heat absorbed by the system.

Answer: ? kJ

NOTE: I know the relationship between the three is dU=Q-W, where dU is change in energy, Q is heat, and W is work, so I need help finding only one of the unknown variables and I can figure it out from there! Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

b.

Internal energy is a state function. it depends on initial and final points.

Since the final and initial points are the same , so

U = 0 kJ <----------ans

c.

U = q + w ;

0 = 300 + q ;

q = -300 kJ <-------------ans
