02

Understanding the concept of adiabatic relations

We use various adiabatic relations and the ideal gas equation to find the ratios of temperature and pressure. Using the formula of work done, entropy change, and the first law of thermodynamics, we find the different ratios.

Formulae:

The ideal gas equation

pV=nRT (1)

The adiabatic relations of pressure, volume, temperature,

pVy=constantTVy-1=constant (2)

The work done in an adiabatic process,

W=nRTInV2V1 (3)

The first law of thermodynamics,

Q=ΔEint+W (4)

The entropy change of gas,

∆S=QT (5)

The change in internal energy of the gas,

ΔEint=nCVΔT (6)

The entropy change of gas,

∆S=nCVInTfinalTinitial+nRInVfinalVinitial (7)

03

(a) Calculation of p2/p1

For path1→2the process is isothermal.

SoT2=T1

Using equation (1) for paths1→2, at a constant temperature, we can get that

p2p1=V1V2=13=0.333

Hence, the ratio isp2/p1=0.333

04

(b) Calculation of p3/p1

The path 3→1is an adiabatic process

Using the adiabatic relation of pressure-volume of equation (2) for paths3→1, we can get that

p3V3y=p1V1yp3p1=V1V3p3p1=13y

For diatomic gas,y=75or 1.4

p3p1=131.4=0.215

Hence, the value of the ratio isp3/p1=0.215

05

(c) Calculation of T3/T1

Using the adiabatic relation of temperature and volume of equation (2)for path3→1, we can get that

T3V3y-1=T1V1y-1T3T1=V1V3y-1T3T1=131.4-1T3T1=130.4T3T1=0.644

Hence, the value of the ratio isT3/T1=0.664

06

(d) Calculation of W/nRT1 for path 1→2

Work done for an isothermal process for the path1→2is given using equation (3) as:

W=nRT1In3W=1.10nRT1WnRT1=1.10

Hence, the value of the ratio isW/nRT1=1.10

07

(e) Calculation of Q/nRT1 for paths 1→2

The change in internal energy is∆Eint=0 since this is an ideal gas process without a temperature change.

Using the relation of equation (4), we get that

Q=1.10nRT1QnRT1=1.10

Hence, the value of the ratio isQ/nRT1=1.10

08

(f) Calculation of ∆Eint=nRT1 for paths 1→2

Since,∆Eint=0

The value of the ratio,

∆EintnRT1=0

Hence, the value of the ratio is ∆Eint/nRT1=0.

09

(g) Calculation of ∆S/nR for path 1→2

The entropy change of the gas from path1→2using equation (5) is given as:

∆S=1.10nRT1T1∆SnR=1.10

Hence, the value of the ratio is∆S/nR=1.10

10

(h) Calculation of W/nRT1 for path 2→3

There is no change in volume for the process2→3, therefore, work done is zero.

Thus,WnRT1=0

Hence, the value of the ratio is W/nRT1=0.

11

(i) Calculation of Q/nRT1 for path 2→3

The change in internal energy using equation (6) from the path2→3is given by:

∆Eint=n52RT3-T2fordiatomicgas,CV=52R=n52RT130.4-T1=n52R0.6444T1-T1=n52R0.6444-1T1=0.889nRT1∆EintnRT1=0.889

Using the first law of thermodynamics for path2→3:

Since there is no change in volume for this path, the work done is zero.

Q=∆EintQnRT1=-0.889

Hence, the value of the ratio isQ/nRT1=-0.889

12

(j) Calculation of ∆Eint/nRT1 for path 2→3

Since,ΔEint=-0.889nRT1from the above calculations, we get that,

∆EintnRT1=0.889

Hence, the value of the ratio is∆Eint/nRT1=0.889

13

(k) Calculation of ∆S/nR for path 2→3

Entropy change for an ideal gas is given using equation (7) as follows:

Dividing both sides by R,

∆SR=nCVRInTfinalTinitial+nInVfinalVinitial=nCVRInT3T1+nInV3V1.

For this path, volume is constant i.e.V3=V1and the second term in the above equation vanishes because In(1)=0.

∆SR=nCVRIn3T10.4T1∆SnR=1R×52R×In3T10.4T1∆SnR=52In3-0.4∆SnR=-1.10

Hence, the value of the ratio is∆S/nR=-1.10

14

(l) Calculation of W/nRT1 for path 3→1 

The process is adiabatic and for an adiabatic process Q=0

Hence, there is no change in entropy.

For a complete cycle, the change in internal energy must be zero, so all internal energies must add up to zero.

Δ·¡(int,1→2+Δ·¡int,2→3+Δ·¡(int,3→1=00+(-0.889nRT1)+Δ·¡int,3→1=0Δ·¡int,3→1=0.889nRT1∆Eint,3→1nRT1=0.889

Now, using equation (4), we can get the work done by the gas from the path3→1is given as:

W=0-0.889nRT1WnRT1=-0.889

Hence, the value of the ratio isW/nRT1=-0.889

15

(m) Calculation of Q/nRT1 for path 3→1

This process is adiabatic, so Q=0

Hence, the ratio is zero.

QnRT1=0

Hence, the value of the ratio is zero.

16

(n) Calculation of ∆Eint/nRT1 for path 3→1

This is the same as calculated in part(l)but positive.

∆EintnRT1=0.889

Hence, the value of the ratio is∆Eint/nRT1=0.889

17

(o) Calculation of ∆S/nR for path 3→1

Because we have completed one complete cycle, so its initial temperature and volume are the same as the final temperature and volume and the ratio is zero since, In 1=0.

∆SnR=CVRInT1T1+nInV1V1∆SnR=0

Hence, the value of the ratio is zero.

As a sample of nitrogen gas (N2) undergoes a temperature increase at constant volume, the distribution of molecular speeds increases. That is, the probability distribution function P(v)for the molecules spreads to higher speed values, as suggested in Fig. 19-8b. One way to report the spread in P(v)is to measure the difference∆v between the most probable speedvpand the rms speedvrms. When P(v) spreads to higher speeds,∆v increases. Assume that the gas is ideal and the N2 molecules rotate but do not oscillate. For 1.5 mol, an initial temperature of 250 K, and a final temperature of 500 K, what are (a) the initial difference∆vi, (b) the final difference,∆vf, and (c) the entropy change∆S for the gas?

Suppose 1.0 molof a monatomic ideal gas initially at 10 Land 300 K is heated at constant volume to 600 K, allowed to expand isothermally to its initial pressure, and finally compressed at constant pressure to its original volume, pressure, and temperature. During the cycle, what are (a) the net energy entering the system (the gas) as heat and (b) the net work done by the gas? (c) What is the efficiency of the cycle?

Calculate the efficiency of a fossil-fuel power plant that consumes 380metric tons of coal each hour to produce useful work at the rate of 750 MW. The heat of combustion of coal (the heat due to burning it) is 28 MJ/kg.
