Chapter 3B Problem P3B.10

Question

The cycle involved in the operation of an internal combustion engine is called the Otto cycle (Fig. 3.1). The cycle consists of the following steps: (1) Reversible adiabatic compression from A to B, (2) reversible constant-volume pressure increase from B to C due to the combustion of a small amount of fuel, (3) reversible adiabatic expansion from C to D, and (4) reversible constant-volume pressure decrease back to state A. Assume that the pressure, temperature, and volume at point A are \(p_{A}\), \(T_{A}\), and \(V_{A}\), and likewise for B–D; further assume that the working substance is 1 mol of perfect gas diatomic molecules with \(C_{V, \mathrm{m}}=\frac{5}{2} R\). Recall that for a reversible adiabatic expansion (such as step 1) \(V_{\mathrm{A}} T_{\mathrm{A}}^{c}=V_{\mathrm{B}} T_{\mathrm{B}}^{c}\), where \(c=C_{V, \mathrm{m}} / R\), and that for a perfect gas the internal energy is only a function of the temperature.

(a) Evaluate the work and the heat involved in each of the four steps, expressing your results in terms of \(C_{V, \mathrm{m}}\) and the temperatures \(T_{\mathrm{A}}-T_{\mathrm{D}}\).

(b) The efficiency η is defined as the modulus of the work over the whole cycle divided by the modulus of the heat supplied in step 2. Derive an expression for η in terms of the temperatures \(T_{\mathrm{A}}-T_{\mathrm{D}}\).

(c) Use the relation between V and T for the reversible adiabatic processes to show that your expression for the efficiency can be written \(\eta=1-\left(V_{\mathrm{B}} / V_{\mathrm{A}}\right)^{1 / c}\) (Hint: recall that \(V_{\mathrm{C}}=V_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(V_{\mathrm{D}}=V_{\mathrm{A}}\).)

(d) Derive expressions, in terms of \(C_{V, \mathrm{m}}\) and the temperatures, for the change in entropy (of the system and of the surroundings) for each step of the cycle.

(e) Assuming that \(V_{\mathrm{A}}=4.00 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\), \(p_{\mathrm{A}}=1.00 \mathrm{atm}\), \(T_{\mathrm{A}}=300 \mathrm{K}\), and that \(V_{\mathrm{A}}=10 V_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(p_{\mathrm{C}} / p_{\mathrm{B}}=5\), evaluate the efficiency of the cycle and the entropy changes for each step. (Hint: for the last part you will need to find \(T_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(T_{\mathrm{D}}\), which can be done by using the relation between V and T for the reversible adiabatic process; you will also need to find \(T_{\mathrm{C}}\) which can be done by considering the temperature rise in the constant volume process.)

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 3B problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The cycle involved in the operation of an internal combustion engine is called the Otto cycle (Fig. 3.1). The cycle consists of the following steps: (1) Reversible adiabatic compression from A to B, (2) reversible constant-volume pressure increase from B to C due to the combustion of a small amount of fuel, (3) reversible adiabatic expansion from C to D, and (4) reversible constant-volume pressure decrease back to state A. Assume that the pressure, temperature, and volume at point A are \(p_{A}\), \(T_{A}\), and \(V_{A}\), and likewise for B–D; further assume that the working substance is 1 mol of perfect gas diatomic molecules with \(C_{V, \mathrm{m}}=\frac{5}{2} R\). Recall that for a reversible adiabatic expansion (such as step 1) \(V_{\mathrm{A}} T_{\mathrm{A}}^{c}=V_{\mathrm{B}} T_{\mathrm{B}}^{c}\), where \(c=C_{V, \mathrm{m}} / R\), and that for a perfect gas the internal energy is only a function of the temperature.(a) Evaluate the work and the heat involved in each of the four steps, expressing your results in terms of \(C_{V, \mathrm{m}}\) and the temperatures \(T_{\mathrm{A}}-T_{\mathrm{D}}\).(b) The efficiency η is defined as the modulus of the work over the whole cycle divided by the modulus of the heat supplied in step 2. Derive an expression for η in terms of the temperatures \(T_{\mathrm{A}}-T_{\mathrm{D}}\).(c) Use the relation between V and T for the reversible adiabatic processes to show that your expression for the efficiency can be written \(\eta=1-\left(V_{\mathrm{B}} / V_{\mathrm{A}}\right)^{1 / c}\) (Hint: recall that \(V_{\mathrm{C}}=V_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(V_{\mathrm{D}}=V_{\mathrm{A}}\).)(d) Derive expressions, in terms of \(C_{V, \mathrm{m}}\) and the temperatures, for the change in entropy (of the system and of the surroundings) for each step of the cycle.(e) Assuming that \(V_{\mathrm{A}}=4.00 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\), \(p_{\mathrm{A}}=1.00 \mathrm{atm}\), \(T_{\mathrm{A}}=300 \mathrm{K}\), and that \(V_{\mathrm{A}}=10 V_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(p_{\mathrm{C}} / p_{\mathrm{B}}=5\), evaluate the efficiency of the cycle and the entropy changes for each step. (Hint: for the last part you will need to find \(T_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(T_{\mathrm{D}}\), which can be done by using the relation between V and T for the reversible adiabatic process; you will also need to find \(T_{\mathrm{C}}\) which can be done by considering the temperature rise in the constant volume process.)Text Transcription:C_V,m = 5/2 RV_AT_A&c = V_BT_B^cc = C_V,m/RC_V, mT_A - T_DT_A - T_Deta = 1(V_B/V_A)^1/cVC = VBVD = VAC_V,mV_A = 4.00 dm^3p_A = 1.00 atmT_A = 300 K V_A = 10V_Bp_C/p_B = 5T_BT_DT_C
