Chapter 18: Problem 19
In a certain automobile engine, \(17 \%\) of the total energy released in burning gasoline ends up as mechanical work. What's the engine's mechanical power output if its heat output is \(68 \mathrm{kW} ?\)

How much of a triatomic gas with \(C_{V}=3 R\) would you have to add to 10 mol of monatomic gas to get a mixture whose thermodynamic behavior was like that of a diatomic gas?
A gas expands isothermally from state \(A\) to state \(B\), in the process absorbing \(35 \mathrm{J}\) of heat. It's then compressed isobarically to state C, where its volume equals that of state \(A\). During the compression, 22 J of work are done on the gas. The gas is then heated at constant volume until it returns to state \(A\). (a) Draw a \(p V\) diagram for this process. (b) How much work is done on or by the gas during the complete cycle? (c) How much heat is transferred to or from the gas as it goes from \(B\) to \(C\) to \(A\) ?
A quasi-static process begins and ends at the same temperature. Is the process necessarily isothermal?
During cycling, the human body typically releases stored energy from food at the rate of \(500 \mathrm{W},\) and produces about \(120 \mathrm{W}\) of mechanical power. At what rate does the body produce heat during cycling?
A carbon-sequestration scheme calls for isothermally compressing \(6.8 \mathrm{m}^{3}\) of carbon dioxide, initially at atmospheric pressure, until it occupies only \(5.0 \%\) of its original volume. Find the work required.
