(A) the net heat energy absorbed during a cyclic process (the difference between heat flowing into the system and heat leaving the system) is the work. If we regard the atmosphere as a heat engine, what is the work being done by the atmosphere? That is, what phenomenon or phenomena are a realization of the work being done by the atmosphere? (B) Of all possible heat engines, the Carnot cycle has the maximum efficiency between any two operating temperatures (think of these temperatures as the maximum and minimum temperatures encountered during the cycle). Estimate the Carnot efficiency of Earth's atmosphere. [Hint: Think about the temperature variation with latitude.] (C) Do you think the efficiency of the real atmosphere would be "close" or "far" from the Carnot efficiency? Please explain your answer.

Problem: The drawing (not to scale) shows the way in which the pressure and volume change for an ideal gas that is used as the working substance in a Carnot engine. The gas begins at point A (pressure = PA, volume = VA) and expands isothermally at temperature T until point B (pressure = PB, volume = V B) is reached. During this expansion, the input heat of magnitude Qn enters the gas from the hot reservoir of the engine. Then, from point B to point C (pressure Pc. volume = Vc), the gas expands adiabatically. Next, the gas is compressed isothermally at temperature T. from point C to point D (pressure = PD, volume = VD). During this compression, heat of magnitude Q. is rejected to the cold reservoir of the engine. Finally, the gas is compressed adiabatically from point D to point A, where the gas is back in its initial state. The overall process A to B to C to D to A is called a Carnot cycle. Prove The work done during the cycle equals the area enclosed by the path on the PV diagram. B…
