Chapter 20, Problem 51P(choose chapter or problem)
Problem 51P
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 \(\mathrm{c} \rightarrow \mathrm{a}\) is a straight line in the \(p V \text {-diagram }\). (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?

ANSWER:
Solution 51P
Step 1 of 12:
Since in the given problem, the gas we are considering is monatomic ideal gas.
The specific heat capacity for monatomic ideal gas is,
At constant volume,
