3. An ideal gas is used in a heat engine following the cyclical process shown in the TS diagram below. Geometrically, the path follows an ellipse with width o and height TH – Tc. TH TC S (a) Determine in terms of o, Tc and TH the heat going into the cycle from the hot reservoir, QH. (b) Determine in terms of o, Tc and TH the heat going out of the cycle to the cold reservoir, Qc. (c) Determine in terms of Tc and TH the the efficiency of the cycle, e. (d) If the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between the same temperatures, TH and Tc, was 40%, what would be the efficiency of this heat engine?
