Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 40AP
You are working as an assistant to a physics professor. She has seen some presentations you have made to your classes and is aware of your expertise in preparing presentation slides. Her laptop has crashed and she cannot access the presentation slides she needs for her lecture coming up in one hour. Her lecture is on entropy in engine cycles. She asks you to quickly generate two slides on your laptop, both showing TS diagrams, (a) one for the Carnot cycle and (b) one for the Otto cycle. As she leaves, you think, “Uh-oh. What’s a TS diagram?” Quick, you have no time to waste! Get to work!

Problem 1:
Describe a situation in which the entropy of a container of gas is constant. In other words, come up with your
own problem where the answer is that AS = 0.
In a living cell, which is an open system that exchanges energy and matter with the exterior, the entropy can decrease, i.e. dS < 0. Explain how this is possible in terms of de S and di S. How is the Second Law valid in this case?
In discussing the energy of a physiological system, the Gibbs free energy is most relevant. Since the value of entropy cannot be known, change in the Gibbs free energy is more commonly used. In order to get reliable result we should hold all variables constant except the one we are interested in measuring. If you are interested in studying muscle contraction in this perspective, which one of the following should be measured? Select one:
a. Change in pressure
b. Change in electrical charge
c. Change in length
d. Change in temperature
e. Change in number of molecules

As a very crude model of a rubber band, consider a chain of N links, each of length L Imagine that each link has only two possible states, pointing either left or right. The total length L of the rubber band is the net displacement from the beginning of the first link to the end of the last link.

From this expression, compute the tension in terms of L, T , N, and l.arrow_forwardAssume you are given the following and you have to calculate q (heat), w (work), and delta U using a cycle. 1 mole of an ideal monatomic gas.
