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!

- a) Describe in your own words the operation of a diesel engine, and explain how it is estimated by the idealised Diesel cycle. [Hint: you can make use of one or more diagrams.]arrow_forwardI'm needing help with parts d and f, please.arrow_forwardA mass m of water is heated reversibly from temperature T1 to T2 at a constant pressure of P. In this problem, we are going to determine an expression for the change in entropy, ΔS.Assume we can heat the given water infinitesimally slowly so that the process is reversible. Therefore, heat in any infinitesimal step is given by the following: dQ = mc dT, where c is the specific heat and is constant. Part (a) Write an expression for the change in entropy ΔS for the system. Part (b) Calculate the change in entropy in cal/K for a sample of water with mass m = 1.9 kg and changing temperature from T1 = 22.9°C to T2 = (22.9+10)°C. The specific heat c of water is 1,000 cal/kg/K.arrow_forward

The entropy of the solid is ______ kB.(b) What is the entropy of an Einstein solid in a macropartition that contains 9 ×10 e690 microstates? Express your answer as a multiple of kB. The entropy of the solid is 1590.92kB.arrow_forwardA box contains 100 gas molecules all released on the left side of the box. What is the initial entropy of all the gas molecules on one side? You can calculate the number of microstates (left/right distribution of molecules) possible by the equation W = N! / ( nL! * nR!,) where N is the total number of molecules and nL is the number on the left and nR is the number on the right. What is the entropy of the most disorganized distribution of gas molecules?arrow_forwardQuestion d And e only pleasearrow_forward
- Polymers, like rubber, are made of very long molecules, usually tangled up in a configuration that has lots of entropy. 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. Using the thermodynamic identity, you can now express the tension force F in terms of a partial derivative of the entropy. 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. The initial volume is 5L and the pressure is 2.0 atm. It is heated at a constant pressure until the volume of 10L is achieved.arrow_forwardWhat is the entropy S of this system at a given temperature T, asT→∞, and T→0. We expect the entropy S to be 0 at T= 0. Does entropy increase as the temperature T increases?arrow_forward

Use the entropy expression to obtain the equation of state in terms of N, A, and the force per unit length F. What is the specific heat of the two-dimensional gas at constant area?arrow_forward
