Question

Calculate the actual work done on the 200 g mass using W = mgh.  Be careful to use only the change in height of the mass.  How does this compare to the work done by the gas from step C?  Does the gas do any work other than lifting the 200 g mass?

 

kindly answer it completely, thank you. 

I. Objectives
To determine the work done by the heat engine and its efficiency
II. Procedures / Diagrams
The experiment is done using the heat engine laboratory setup shown in Fig. 1. It is composed of the hot and cold
water tanks, piston, 200 g mass and sensors to measure the pressure and temperature of the system.

PROCEDURE
1. The data gathered in this experiment are pressure, temperature and height of the piston at different steps of the
cycle. The starting point is with the metal cylinder can in the cold water. This starting point will be called point
A. The steps are as follows:
Temperature
(K)
Height of piston
(m)
Pressure
Position
(Pa)
A Preparation: The metal cylinder is in the cold water tank.
B: The 200 g mass is placed on the piston platform.
C: The metal cylinder is moved from cold bath to the hot bath.
D: The 200 g mass is removed from the platform.
A End: The metal cylinder is moved from the hot bath to the cold bath.

respective pressure, temperature and piston height for each step of the cycle. It also gives the relevant dimensions
of the metal cylinder and piston.

3. Construct a Pressure vs. Total Air Volume plot of the cycle using the SparkVue application (Manual Entry).
Input the values of pressure (y-axis) and total air volume (x-axis) in the application in proper order of the cycle's
five steps (A Prep up to A End).
4. Once the plot has been drawn in the Spark Vue app, press the I icon and choose Area. This will now show the
arca inside your plot. Take a screenshot of the graph of the cycle. Label the four corners of your graph as A, B,
C, and D. Put arrows on the cycle to show the direction of the process.
5. Identify the types of processes (i.e., isothermal/isobaric, expansion/compression).
