(choose chapter or problem)

Figure 20-17 is a PV diagram for a reversible heatengine in which 1.0 mol of argon, a nearly idealmonatomic gas, is initially at STP (point a).Points b and c are on an isotherm at T = 423 K. Process ab is at constantvolume, process ac at constant^ pressure, (a) Is the path of thecycle carried out clockwise orcounterclockwise? (b) What isthe efficiency of this engine?
