(choose chapter or problem)

A Carnot cycle, shown in Fig. 20-7, has the followingconditions: Fa = 7.5 L, Vb = 15.0 L, TH = 470C, and TL =260C. The gas used in the cycle is 0.50 mol of a diatomicgas, J = 1.4. Calculate (a) the pressures at a and b; (b) thevolumes at c and d. (c) What is the work done alongprocess ab? (d) What is the heat lost along process cd?(e) Calculate the net work done for the whole cycle. (/) Whatis the efficiency of the cycle, using the definition e = W/QH?Show that this is the same as given by Eq. 20-3.
