Solved: A monatomic ideal gas is taken around the cycle

Chapter 20, Problem 20.51

(choose chapter or problem)

A monatomic ideal gas is taken around the cycle shown in Fig. P20.51 in the direction shown in the figure. The path for process \(c \rightarrow a\) is a straight line in the pV-diagram. (a) Calculate Q, W, and \(\Delta U\) for each process \(a \rightarrow b\), \(b \rightarrow c\), and \(c \rightarrow a\). (b) What are Q, W, and \(\Delta U\) for one complete cycle? (c) What is the efficiency of the cycle?
