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.

Question
(a) A Carnot engine operates between a hot reservoir at 320 K and a cold one at 260 K. If the engine absorbs 500 J as heat per cycle at the hot reservoir, how much work per cycle does it deliver? (b) If the engine working in reverse functions as a refrigerator between the same two reservoirs, how much work per cycle must be supplied to remove 1000 J as heat from the cold reservoir?
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number 64 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) A Carnot engine operates between a hot reservoir at 320 K and a cold one at 260 K. If the engine absorbs 500 J as heat per cycle at the hot reservoir, how much work per cycle does it deliver? (b) If the engine working in reverse functions as a refrigerator between the same two reservoirs, how much work per cycle must be supplied to remove 1000 J as heat from the cold reservoir?
From the textbook chapter ENTROPY AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
