- P₁ P3 Р V. T₁ 2 T₂ 3 T₁ V V. A heat engine consists of a heat source that causes a monatomic gas to expand, pushing against a piston, there by doing work. The gas begins at a pressure of p₁-300 kPa, a volume of V₁=150 cm³, and room temperature, T₁= 20 °C. On reaching a volume of V₂=450 cm³, the piston is locked in place, and the heat source is removed. At this point the gas cools back to room temperature. Finally, the piston is unlocked and used to isothermally compress the gas back to its initial state. The cycle is shown on the pV-diagram in the figure. Molar heat capacity at constant pressure for monatomic ideal gas is Cp = Cv+ R = 5R/2 where the universal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/mol K) Determine the work done on the gas in the process 2-3.

- If I bring a small object at temperature 200C in thermal contact with a large object at the same temperature, a) thermal energy will flow from the large to the small object because the large object has more internal energy. b) thermal energy will flow from the small to the large object because that will increase entropy. c) thermal energy will not flow.arrow_forwardThe first law of thermodynamics, ΔU = Q - W, when written as Q = W + ΔU, says that the heat into a system can be used to do work and/or increase the internal energy.
