If all the heat generated by the students were absorbed by the air, by how much would the air temperature rise during a lecture?

Heat fl ows from a reservoir at 373 K to a reservoir at 273 K through a 0.35-m copper rod with a cross-sectional area of 9.4 3 1024 m2 (see the drawing). The heat then leaves the 273-K reservoir and enters a Carnot engine, which uses part of this heat to do work and rejects the remainder to a third reservoir at 173 K. How much of the heat leaving the 373-K reservoir is rendered unavailable for doing work in a period of 2.0 min?

A fi fteen-watt heater is used to heat a monatomic ideal gas at a constant pressure of 7.60 3 105 Pa. During the process, the 1.40 3 1023 m3 volume of the gas increases by 25.0%. How long was the heater on?

An ideal gas is taken through the three processes (A B B, B B C, and C B A) shown in the drawing. In general, for each process the internal energy U of the gas can change because heat Q can be added to or removed from the gas and work W can be done by the gas or on the gas. For the three processes shown in the drawing, fi ll in the fi ve missing entries in the following table.

An engine has an effi ciency e1. The engine takes input heat of magnitude uQHu from a hot reservoir and delivers work of magnitude uW1u. The heat rejected by this engine is used as input heat for a second engine, which has an effi ciency e2 and delivers work of magnitude uW2u. The overall effi ciency of this two-engine device is the magnitude of the total work delivered (uW1u 1 uW2u) divided by the magnitude uQHu of the input heat. Find an expression for the overall effi ciency e in terms of e1 and e2.

Beginning with a pressure of 2.20 3 105 Pa and a volume of 6.34 3 1023 m3 , an ideal monatomic gas (g 5 5 3 ) undergoes an adiabatic expansion such that its fi nal pressure is 8.15 3 104 Pa. An alternative process leading to the same final state begins with an isochoric cooling to the final pressure, followed by an isobaric expansion to the final volume. How much more work does the gas do in the adiabatic process than in the alternative process?

An ideal, or Carnot, heat pump is used to heat a house to a temperature of 294 K (21 8C). How much work must the pump do to deliver 3350 J of the heat into the house on a day when the outdoor temperature is 273 K (0 8C), and on another day when the temperature is 252 K (221 8C)?

The sublimation of zinc (mass per mole 5 0.0654 kg/mol) takes place at a temperature of 6.00 3 102 K, and the latent heat of sublimation is 1.99 3 106 J/kg. The pressure remains constant during the sublimation. Assume that the zinc vapor can be treated as a monatomic ideal gas and that the volume of solid zinc is negligible compared to the corresponding vapor. Concepts: (i) What is sublimation, and what is the latent heat of sublimation? (ii) When a solid phase changes to a gas phase, does the volume of the material increase or decrease, and by how much? (iii) As the material changes from a solid to a gas, does it do work on the environment, or does the environment do work on it? How much work is involved? (iv) In this problem we begin with heat Q and realize that it is used for two purposes: First, it makes the solid change into a gas, which entails a change DU in the internal energy of the material, DU 5 Ugas 2 Usolid. Second, it allows the expanding material to do work W on the environment. According to the conservation-of-energy principle, how is Q related to DU and W? (v) According to the fi rst law of thermodynamics, how is Q related to DU and W? Calculations: What is the change in the internal energy of zinc when 1.50 kg of zinc sublimates?

Each of two Carnot engines uses the same cold reservoir at a temperature of 275 K for its exhaust heat. Each engine receives 1450 J of input heat. The work from either of these engines is used to drive a * * pulley arrangement that uses a rope to accelerate a 125-kg crate from rest along a horizontal frictionless surface, as shown in the fi gure. With engine 1 the crate attains a speed of 2.00 m/s, while with engine 2 it attains a speed of 3.00 m/s. Concepts: (i) With which engine is the change in the crates energy greater? (ii) Which engine does more work? Explain your answer. (iii) For which engine is the temperature of the hot reservoir greater? Calculations: Find the temperature of the hot reservoir for each engine.
