Textbook Question

Chapter 20, Problem 73GP

The operation of a certain heat engine takes an ideal monatomic gas through a cycle shown as the rectangle on the PV diagram of Fig. 20-25. (a) Determine the efficiency of this engine. Let Q_H and Q_L be the total heat input and total heat exhausted during one cycle of this engine. (b) Compare (as a ratio) the efficiency of this engine to that of a Carnot engine operating between T_H and T_L, where T_H and T_L are the highest and lowest temperatures achieved.

Problem 69.

Definition Definition Law that is the combined form of Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Avogadro's Law. This law is obeyed by all ideal gas. Boyle's Law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume. Charles's Law states that volume is in direct relation to temperature. Avogadro's Law shows that volume is in direct relation to the number of moles in the gas. The mathematical equation for the ideal gas law equation has been formulated by taking all the equations into account: PV=nRT Where P = pressure of the ideal gas V = volume of the ideal gas n = amount of ideal gas measured in moles R = universal gas constant and its value is 8.314 J.K-1mol-1 T = temperature
