In this problem, you will consider an "unusual” solid-state refrigeration device that achieves cooling by varying the magnetization of the working mate- rial (gadolinium sulphate octahydrate) at constant- pressure conditions. By contrast, most refrigeration cycles achieve cooling based on manipulating pres- sures of the working fluid. The device functions roughly as shown at the right wherein a paramag- netic wheel is rotated through different regions: i) a low-temperature region (12) ii) a low-magnetic field region (2 → 3) iii) a high-temperature region (34) iv) a high-magnetic field region (41) In the figure, the thermodynamic state at the point of entry/exit from each region is shown.

Question
Sketch the process on the following state diagrams. For the purposes of your diagram(s), it may be
useful consider that increasing the magnetic field B at a fixed temperature would tend to increase the magnetization M, resulting in a more ordered material (i.e., lower entropy).

 
 

 

In this problem, you will consider an "unusual"
solid-state refrigeration device that achieves cooling
by varying the magnetization of the working mate-
rial (gadolinium sulphate octahydrate) at constant-
pressure conditions. By contrast, most refrigeration
cycles achieve cooling based on manipulating pres-
sures of the working fluid. The device functions
roughly as shown at the right wherein a paramag-
netic wheel is rotated through different regions:
• i) a low-temperature region (1 → 2)
ii) a low-magnetic field region (2 → 3)
iii) a high-temperature region (3 → 4)
iv) a high-magnetic field region (4 → 1)
In the figure, the thermodynamic state at the point of
entry/exit from each region is shown.
