THIS SIDE OF THE CYCLE IS ACTUALLY AN ENTIRE COMPRESSION & EXPANSION TO TAKE IN NEW AIR/FUEL.

How much work is done by the gas in the cycle shown? D

A] 0

B] p0V0

C] 2p0V0

D] -2p0V0

E] 4 p0V0

How much total heat is added to the gas in the cycle shown? D

If “negative heat” is added to the gas, this means more heat isexpelled from the gas than taken in. (The difference is the work done on the gas.)

In one (ccw) Carnot cycle shown, the work done by the gas is:

A] +

B] -

C] 0

A] 1-2

B] 2-3

C] 3-4

D] 4-1

E] none

Work < 0, so Q < 0. Along which paths is heat expelled from the gas?

Heat is expelled from the gas during isothermal compression 3-4.Heat is added to the gas during isothermal expansion 1-2.More heat is expelled than added.

The net effect is to take heat from a cold reservoir, and add it to a hot reservoir (along with some extra heat from the work done on the gas.)

This is a fridge!

So how come this looks funny?

Heat flows from a hot object to a cold object in contact with it because:

A] the hot object has more total internal energy -and heat flows until both objects have the same internal energy

B] the hot object has more total energy per molecule- and heat flows until both objects have the same energy per molecule

C] the hot object has more translational kinetic energy per molecule - and heat flows until both objects have the same translational kinetic energy per molecule.

What is the entropy change in the hot reservoir which isadding heat to the gas?

S = Q/T for an isothermal process. Use p0V0=nRT along with Q= p0V0ln(2) to find S = nRln(2).

B] nRln(2)

C] nRln(1/2)

D] 0

E] cannot determine

What is the entropy change in the hot reservoir which isadding heat to the gas?

In a reversible process, S = 0. So the entropy change in the hot reservoir (which is at the same temperature T as the gas) is -nRln(2). Answer C.

We showed, for a Carnot cycle, that QH/TH = |Qc|/TC= -Qc/Tc

What is the change in entropy of the gas around the entire Carnot cycle?

A] p0V0ln(2)

B] nRln(2)

C] nRln(1/2)

D] 0

E] cannot determine

Any reversible process consists of “adjoining” Carnot cycles.S for adjoining segments cancels. So:

Entropy, like Internal Energy, is a “state” variable, and depends only on the state of a system (p, V for a gas).

-> You can calculate entropy changes for irreversible processes by taking a reversible path to the same endpoint.

Example: free expansion to double the volume. Tf = Ti.
