Problem 52P A Stirling-Cycle Engine?. The ?Stirling cycle is similar to the Otto cycle, except that the compression and expansion of the gas are done at constant temperature, not adiabatically as in the Otto cycle. The Stirling cycle is used in ?external combustion engines (in fact, burning fuel is not necessary; any way of producing a temperature difference will do-solar, geothermal, ocean temperature gradient, etc.), which means that the gas inside the cylinder is not used in the combustion process. Heat is supplied by burning fuel steadily outside the cylinder, instead of explosively inside the cylinder as in the Otto cycle. For this reason Stirling-cycle engines are quieter than Otto-cycle engines, since there are no intake and exhaust valves (a major source of engine noise). While small Stirling engines are used for a variety of purposes, Stirling engines for automobiles have not been successful because they are larger, heavier, and more expensive than conventional automobile engines. In the cycle, the working fluid goes through the following sequence of steps (Fig.): (i) Compressed isothermally at temperature ?T? from the i1itial state a to state b, with a compression ratio ?r. (ii) Heated at constant volume to state c ? ? at Temperature ?T? . 2? (iii) Expanded isothermally at ?T? ?to 2?ate ?d. (iv) Cooled at constant volume back to the initial state a ? . Assume that the working fluid is ?n moles of an ideal gas (for which ?C? is independentvof temperature). (a) Calculate ?Q, W, and ?U for each processes a ? b, b ? c, c ? d,and d ? a. (b) in the Stirling cycle, the heat transfers in the process b ? c and d ? a do not involve external heat sources but rather use regeneration: The same substance that transfer heat to the gas inside the cylinder in the process b ? c also absorbs heat back from the gas in the process d ? a. Hence the heat transfers Q ? and ?Q calculated b ? c d ? a in part (a). (c) Calculate the efficiency of a stirling-cycle engine in terms of temperature T?1?and ?T?2?. How does this compare to the efficiency of a Carnot-cycle engine operating between the same two temperatures? (Historically, the Stirling cycle was devised before the Carnot cycle.) Does this result violate the second law of thermodynamics? Explain. Unfortunately, actual Stirling-cycle engines cannot achieve this efficiency due to problems with the heat-transfer processes and pressure losses in the engine.

The maximum power that can be extracted by a wind turbine from an air stream is approximately \(P=k d^2 v^3\) where d is the blade diameter, v is the wind speed, and the constant \(k=0.5 \mathrm{~W} \cdot \mathrm{s}^3 / \mathrm{m}^5\). (a) Explain the dependence of P on d and on v by considering a cylinder of air that passes over the turbine blades in time t (Fig. P20.58). This cylinder has diameter d, length L= vt, and density \(\rho\). (b) The Mod-5B wind turbine at Kahaku on the Hawaiian island of Oahu has a blade diameter of 97 m (slightly longer than a football field) and sits atop a 58-m tower. It can produce 3.2 MW of electric power. Assuming 25% efficiency, what wind speed is required to produce this amount of power? Give your answer in m / s and in km / h. (c) Commercial wind turbines are commonly located in or downwind of mountain passes. Why?

CALC (a) For the Otto cycle shown in Fig. 20.6, calculate the changes in entropy of the gas in each of the constant-volume processes \(b \rightarrow c \text { and } d \rightarrow a\) in terms of the temperatures \(T_{a}, T_{b}, T_{c}\) and \(T_{d}\) and the number of moles n and the heat capacity \(C_{V}\) of the gas. (b) What is the total entropy change in the engine during one cycle? (Hint: Use the relationships between \(T_{a} \text { and } T_{b}\) and between and \(T_{d} \text { and } T_{c}\) The processes \(b \rightarrow c \text { and } d \rightarrow a\) and occur irreversibly in a real Otto engine. Explain how can this be reconciled with your result in part (b).

Problem 55P Automotive Thermodynamics. A Volkswagen Passat has a six-cylinder Otto-cycle engine with compression ratio r = 10.6. The diameter of each cylinder, called the bore of the engine, is 82.5 mm. The distance that the piston moves during the compression in Fig. 20.5, called the ?stroke of the engine, is 86.4 mm. The initial pressure of the air–fuel mixture (at point a in Fig. 20.6) is 8.50 X 104 Pa, and the initial temperature is 300 K (the same as the outside air). Assume that 200 J of heat is added to each cylinder in each cycle by the burning gasoline, and that the gas has C V = 20.5 J / mol ? K and ? = 1.40. (a) Calculate the total work done in one cycle in each cylinder of the engine, and the heat released when the gas is cooled to the temperature of the outside air.

In a pV-diagram, show the numerical values of p, V, and T for each of the four states. (d) Compare the efficiency of this engine with the efficiency of a Carnot-cycle engine operating between the same maximum and minimum temperatures.

CALC An object of mass \(m_{1}\) specific heat \(c_{1}\) and temperature \(T_{1}\) is placed in contact with a second object of mass \(m_{2}\) specific heat \(c_{2}\) and temperature \(T_{2}>T_{1}\). As a result, the temperature of the first object increases to T and the temperature of the second object decreases to \(T^{\prime}\) (a) Show that the entropy increase of the system is \(\Delta S=m_{1} c_{1} \ln \frac{T}{T_{1}}+m_{2} c_{2} \ln \frac{T^{\prime}}{T_{2}}\) and show that energy conservation requires that \(m_{1} c_{1}\left(T-T_{1}\right)=m_{2} c_{2}\left(T_{2}-T^{\prime}\right)\) (b) Show that the entropy change \(\Delta S\) considered as a function of T, is a maximum if \(T=T^{\prime}\) which is just the condition of thermodynamic equilibrium. (c) Discuss the result of part (b) in terms of the idea of entropy as a measure of disorder.
