(III) A Carnot cycle, shown in Fig. 20-7, has the following conditions: Va = 7.5L, Vb = 15.0L, TH = 470°C, and TL = 260ºC. The gas used in the cycle is 0.50 mol of a diatomic gas, γ = 1.4. Calculate (a) the pressures at a and b; (b) the volumes at c and d. (c) What is the work done along process ab? (d) What is the heat lost along process cd? (e) Calculate the net work done for the whole cycle. (f) What is the efficiency of the cycle, using the definition e W/QH? I Show that this is the same as given by Eq. 20-3.

- Lab 8 Part 3 PHET Wave Interface simulation. I am having trouble with this part of the lab.arrow_forwardMick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes.
