A 2.0 moldiatomic gas initially at 300 Kundergoes this cycle: It is (1) heated at constant volume to 800 K, (2) then allowed to expand isothermally to its initial pressure, (3) then compressed at constant pressure to its initial state. Assuming the gas molecules neither rotate nor oscillate, find (a) the net energy transferred as heat to the gas, (b) the net work done by the gas, and (c) the efficiency of the cycle.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The net energy transferred as heat to the gas is25.5103J.
  2. The net work done by the gas is 4.73103J.
  3. The efficiency of the cycle is 0.185or 18.5%.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The number of moles is n=2.00mol.

The initial temperature,T=300K.

The final temperature,T'=800K.

Process 1, heated at constant volume.

In process 2, isothermal expansion to its initial pressure.

In process 3, compressed at constant pressure to its initial state.

The gas molecules neither rotate nor oscillate.

02

Understanding the concept of thermodynamic relations

By using the formulas for input heat, the net work done and Equation 20-11, for the efficiency, we can find the value of net energy transferred as heat to the gas, the net work done by the gas, and the efficiency of the cycle respectively.

Formulae:

The work done in an isothermal process,Wiso=nRT'InV2V1 (1)

The energy is transferred as heat in the process at either constant pressure or constant volume,Q=nCTf-Ti (2)

The efficiency of the cycle, =WQH (3)

03

a) Calculation of net energy transferred as heat to the gas

Process 1 and 2 both require the input heat, QH. If the rotational degree of freedom is not involved, then =53and the molar-specific heat at constant volume and constant pressure are

Q2=W2CV=32RandCP=52Rrespectively

Also, the volume ratio in process 2 isVfVi=83

Since the working substance is an ideal gas, process 2 being isothermal implies

Therefore, the input heat QHis given using equations (1) and (2) as follows: (process 1 is a constant volume process and process 2 is an isothermal process)

QH=Q1+Q2=nCVT'-T+nRT'InVfVi=2.00mol328.31J/molK800K-300K+2.00mol8.31J/molK800KIn83=25.5103J

Hence, the value of the net energy transferred as heat is25.5103J

04

b) Calculation of net work done by the gas

Using equation (2), the energy transferred as heat by the gas at constant pressure in process 3 is given as:

Q3=2.00mol528.31J/molK300K-800K=-20.8103J

So the net work done by the gas can be given as the sum of all energy transferred as heat as the change in internal energy of ideal gas is zero, that is

W=25.5103J-20.8103J=4.73103J

Hence, the value of net work done by the gas is4.73103J

05

c) Calculation of the efficiency of the cycle

Using the value of net work done by the gas and net energy of the gas in equation (3) we can get the efficiency of the cycle as given:

=4.73103J25.5103J=0.185%=18.5%

Hence, the value of the efficiency of the cycle is0.185 or 18.5%

A gas sample undergoes a reversible isothermal expansion. Figure gives the changeSin entropy of the gas versus the final volumeVfof the gas. The scale of the vertical axis is set bySs=64J/K. How many moles are in the sample?

To make ice, a freezer that is a reverse Carnot engine extracts 42 kJas heat at -15C during each cycle, with coefficient of performance 5.7. The room temperature is30.3C. (a) How much energy per cycle is delivered as heat to the room and (b) how much work per cycle is required to run the freezer?

A0.600kg sample of water is initially ice at temperature20C .What is the sample鈥檚 entropy change if its temperature is increased to40C ?

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 differencev 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 differencevi, (b) the final difference,vf, and (c) the entropy changeS for the gas?

Point i in Fig. 20-19 represents the initial state of an ideal gas at temperature T. Taking algebraic signs into account, rank the entropy changes that the gas undergoes as it moves, successively and reversibly, from point i to pointsa, b, c, and d, greatest first.
