Question
Figure 18-27 shows two closed cycles on p-V diagrams for a gas. The three parts of cycle 1 are of the same length and shape as those of cycle 2. For each cycle, should the cycle be traversed clockwise or counterclockwise if (a) the net work W done by the gas is to be positive and (b) the net energy transferred by the gas as heat Q is to be positive?
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 18-27 shows two closed cycles on p-V diagrams for a gas. The three parts of cycle 1 are of the same length and shape as those of cycle 2. For each cycle, should the cycle be traversed clockwise or counterclockwise if (a) the net work W done by the gas is to be positive and (b) the net energy transferred by the gas as heat Q is to be positive?
From the textbook chapter Temperature, Heat, And The First Law Of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
