Problem 6: A certain gasoline engine is modeled as a monatomic ideal gas undergoing an Otto cycle, represented by the p-V diagram shown in the figure. The initial pressure, volume, and temperature are p1 = 0.95 × 105 Pa, V1 = 0.025 m3, and T1 = 310 K, respectively.
Part (a) Calculate the number of moles times the gas constant, nR, in joules per kelvin, to three significant figures, using the ideal-
Part (b) Calculate the work performed on the gas during the first step, in joules, for V2 = V1/6.2.
Part (c) Calculate the temperature of the gas, in kelvins, at the end of the first step.
Part (d) The second step in the Otto cycle is isochoric (constant-volume) heating. Calculate the heat absorbed by the gas during this process, in joules, if the temperature is increased so that T3 = 1.53T2.
Part (e) Calculate the pressure at the end of the isochoric heating step, in pascals, to three significant figures.
Part (f) The third step in the Otto cycle is adiabatic expansion, which brings the volume back to its initial value. Calculate the work preformed on the gas, in joules, during the third step.
Part (g) The fourth and last step in the Otto cycle is isochoric cooling to the initial conditions. Find the amount of heat, in joules, that is discharged by the gas during the fourth step.
Part (h) Calculate the efficiency of this Otto cycle, expressed as a percent.

- Suppose you have 0.53 moles of an ideal gas. What is the average kinetic energy of that gas (in units of kJ) if the temperature of the gas is 280.2K? Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is some number of kilo-Joules, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit ("kJ" in this case), you answer will be counted wrong.arrow_forwardHelp pleasearrow_forwardREAL GASES n=1 mol of real gas is in a container with a volume of v=0.25lt.

- When gas expands in a cylinder with radius r, the pressure P at any given time is a function of the volume V: P = P(V).
