Helium, a monatomic gas, is initially at a pressure of 16

Chapter , Problem 74

(choose chapter or problem)

Helium, a monatomic gas, is initially at a pressure of 16 atm, a volume of 1.0 L, and a temperature of 600 K. It is quasistatically expanded at constant temperature until its volume is 4.0 L, and is then quasi-statically compressed at constant pressure until its volume and temperature are such that a quasi-static adiabatic compression will return the gas to its original state. (a) Sketch this cycle on a diagram. (b) Find the volume and temperature after the compression at constant pressure. (c) Find the work done during each step of the cycle. (d) Find the efficiency of the cycle.
