- Recall Problem 1.34, which concerned an ideal diatomic gas taken around a rectangular cycle on a PV diagram. Suppose now that this system is used as a heat engine, to convert the heat added into mechanical work. (a) Evaluate the efficiency of this engine for the case V2 = 3V1 , P2 = 2P1. (b) Calculate the efficiency of an "ideal" engine operating between the same temperature extremes.arrow_forwardIn Section 1.13 it was stated that the van der Waals constant b is approximately four times the volume occupied by the molecules themselves. Justify this relationship for a gas composed of spherical moleculesarrow_forwardSuppose the temperature of 6L of ideal gas drops from 375 K to 175 K. If the volume remains constant and the initial pressure is atmospheric pressure, find the final pressure in Pascal's. You can express your answer in exponential form.

- The temperature (in °C)at time t (in hours) in an art museum varies according to the function T(t) = 20+5cos (0.262t). Set-up the integral that will give you the average temperature over the period [2, 6]. Produce the appropriate antiderivative. Once these two are calculated please use your calculator to approximate the average to the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardStatical Mechanics (Thermal and Statical Physics) Instruction: Write ALL the solutions of this (necessary or and not direct answer).
