A gas within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot

Chapter 5, Problem 5.76

(choose chapter or problem)

A gas within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot  power cycle during which the isothermal expansion occurs  at \(T_{\mathrm{H}}=600 \mathrm{\ K}\) and the isothermal compression occurs at \(T_{\mathrm{C}}=300 \mathrm{\ K}\). Determine

(a) the thermal efficiency.

(b) the percent change in thermal efficiency if \(T_{\mathrm{H}}\) increases by 15% while \(T_{\mathrm{C}}\) remains the same.

(c) the percent change in thermal efficiency if \(T_{\mathrm{C}}\) decreases by 15% while \(T_{\mathrm{H}}\) remains the same.

(d) the percent change in thermal efficiency if \(T_{\mathrm{H}}\) increases by 15% and \(T_{\mathrm{C}}\) decreases by 15%.
