Question

Consider where necessary:

R = 8.314 J/mol∙K
1 cal = 4.19 J
kb =1,38 x 10⁻²³ m² kg s⁻² K⁻¹

 

A thermal machine runs the reversible cycle ABCA with 9.0 mols of an ideal gas, as shown in the figure. The CA process is adiabatic. The temperatures at points A and B are 300 K and 500 K, respectively. The volume at point C is 0.20 m³. The constant γ (gamma) of the gas is worth 1.60. (a) What is the thermal efficiency of this machine? (b) Let T_Q and T_F be the temperatures of the hot and cold reservoirs, respectively. What conditions on T_Q and T_F ensure that the machine operates?
