Question

 Calculate the efficiency of the Carnot Engine for ideal gas. Consider the figure below for a complete cycle of Carnot engine, where the cycle goes from ad->ab->bc->cd

 [Image, Table]

Where segments ad & bc are the _______ processes and segment ab & cd are the _______ processes; and the volumes involved are Va, Vb, Vc, Vd, and the two temperatures TC and ________

Sol.

Since , then the heat on segment ab is

QH = ______TH ln |___/___|

The heat on segment cd is

QC = -______TC ln |___/___|

By inspection, we can say that
