Identify the type of energy transferred to your body in each of the following as either internal energy, heat transfer, or doing work: (a) basking in sunlight (b) eating food; (c) riding an elevator to a higher floor.A great deal of effort time, and money has been spent in the quest for the so-called perpetual-motion machine, which is defined as a hypothetical machine that operates or produces useful work indefinitely and/or a hypothetical machine that produces more work or energy than it consumes. Explain, in terms of heat engines and the first law of thermodynamics, why or why not such a machine is likely to be constructed.One method of converting heat transfer to doing work is for heat transfer into a gas to take place, which expands, dong work on a piston, as shown in the figure below. (a) Is the heat transfer converted directly to work in an isobaric process, or does it go through another form first? Explain your answer. (b) What about in an isothermal process? (c) What about in an adiabatic process (where heat transfer occurred prior to the adiabatic process)?Would the previous question make any sense for an isochoric process? Explain your answer.We ordinarily say that U=0 for an isothermal process. Does this assume no phase change takes place? Explain your answer.The temperature of a rapidly expanding gas decreases. Explain why in terms of the first law of thermodynamics. (Hint: Consider whether the gas does work and whether heat transfer occurs rapidly into the gas through conduction.)Which cyclical process represented by the two closed loops, ABCFA end ABDEA, on the PV diagram in the figure below produces the greatest net work? Is that process else the one with the smallest work input required to return it to point A? Explain your responses. Figure 15.42 The two cyclical processes shown on this PV diagram start with and return the system to the conditions at point A, but they follow different paths and produce different amounts of work.A real process may be nearly adiabatic if it occurs over a very short time. How does the short time span help the process to be adiabatic?It is unlikely that a process can be isothermal unless it is a very slow process. Explain why. Is the same true for isobaric and isochoric processes? Explain your answer.Imagine you are driving a car up Pike’s Peak in Colorado. To raise a car weighing 1000 kilograms a distance of 100 meters would require about a million joules. You could raise a car 12.5 kilometers with the energy in a gallon of gas. Driving up Pike’s Peak (a mere 3000-meter climb) should consume a little less than a quart of gas. But other considerations have to be taken into account. Explain, in terms of efficiency, what factors may keep you from realizing your ideal energy use on this trip.Is a temperature difference necessary to operate a heal engine? State why or why not.Definitions of efficiency vary depending on how energy is being converted. Compare the definitions of efficiency for the human body and heat engines. How does the definition of eficiency in each relate to the type of energy being converted into doing walk?Whyother than the fact that the second law of thermodynamics says reversible engines are the most ef?cientShould heat engines employing reversible processes be more ef?cient than those employing irreversible processes? Consider that dissipative mechanisms are one cause of irreversibility.Think about the drinking bird at the beginning of this section (Figure 15.21). Although the bird enjoys the theoretical maximum efficiency possible, it left to its own devices ever time, the bird will cease “drinking." What are some of the dissipative processes that might cause the bird's motion to cease? Figure 15.21 This novelty toy, known as the drinking bird, IS an example of Carnot's engine. It contains methylene chloride (mixed with a dye) in the abdomen, which boils at a very low temperature—about 100°F. To operate, one gets the bird's head wet. As the water evaporates, fluid moves up into the head, causing the bird to become top-heavy and dip forward back into the water. This cools down the methylene chloride in the head, and it moves back into the abdomen, causing the bird to become bottom heavy and tip up. Except for a very small Input of energy—the original head- wetting—the bird becomes a perpetual motion machine of sorts.
