Point i in Fig. 20-19 represents the initial state of an ideal gas at temperature T. Taking algebraic ~ signs into account, rank the entropy ~ changes that the gas undergoes as it ~ moves, successively and reversibly, from point i to points a, b, c, and d, greatest first.

Textbook Solutions for Fundamentals of Physics Extended
Chapter 20 Problem 7
Question
Does the entropy per cycle increase, decrease, or remain the same for (a) a Camot engine, (b) a real engine, and (c) a perfect engine (which is, of course, impossible to build)?
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number 7 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Does the entropy per cycle increase, decrease, or remain the same for (a) a Camot engine, (b) a real engine, and (c) a perfect engine (which is, of course, impossible to build)?
From the textbook chapter ENTROPY AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
