Answer to Problem 88P
The heat flow to the system during process A is 692 J. The heat change of the system during the process B is −2080 J. The heat change of the system during the process C is −506 J. The heat change during the process D is 2080 J.
Explanation of Solution
The number of moles of the diatomic gas is 1000 mol.
The figure below shows the cycle.
During the process A, the gas is in contact with heat reservoir at temperature 373 K. Thus it is a isothermal process. In isothermal process the temperature change is zero, thus the internal energy change is zero. Under this situation the heat flow to the cold reservoir is equal to the work done.
Write the formula for the heat flow out of the system in process A.
QA=nRTAlnVfVi (I)
Here, QA is the heat flow out of the system in process A, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, TA is the temperature during process A, Vf is the final volume, Vi is the initial volume.
During the constant volume process B heat flows into the cold reservoir. During the constant volume process the work done is zero. Thus the heat change is equal to the change in internal energy of the system.
Write the formula for the heat change of the system during the process B.
QB=nCVΔT (II)
Here, QB is the heat change during the process B, CV is the specific heat capacity under constant volume, ΔT is the change in temperature.
Write the formula for the specific heat capacity under constant volume for diatomic gases.

Substitute the above equation in equation (II).
QB=52nRΔT (III)
During the process C, the gas is in contact with heat reservoir at temperature 273 K. Thus it is an isothermal process. In isothermal process the temperature change is zero, thus the internal energy change is zero. Under this situation the heat flow to the cold reservoir is equal to the work done.
Write the formula for the heat flow out of the system in process C.
QC=nRTClnVfVi (IV)
Here, QC is the heat flow out of the system in process C, TC is the temperature during process C.
During the constant volume process D heat flows out of the hot reservoir.
Refer equation (III) and write the formula for the change in heat for the process D.
QD=52nRΔT (V)
Here, QD is the change in heat during process D.

Substitute 692 J for Q, 373 K for T to determine the entropy change of the cold reservoir during process A.
ΔSR=−(692 J)373 K=−1.86 J/K
Substitute 2080 J for Q, 373 K for T to determine the entropy change of the cold reservoir during process D.
ΔSR=−(2080 J)373 K=−5.57 J/K
