Chapter 4.5, Problem 23P
An ideal gas undergoes two processes in a piston–cylinder device as follows:
1–2 Polytropic compression from T1 and P1 with a polytropic exponent n and a compression ratio of r =V1/V2. 2–3 Constant pressure expansion at P3 = P2 until V3 = V1.
- (a) Sketch the processes on a single P-V diagram.
- (b) Obtain an expression for the ratio of the compression-to-expansion work as a function of n and r.
- (c) Find the value of this ratio for values of n = 1.4 and r = 6.

The initial state of 1.00 mol of a dilute gas is P1 = 3.00 atm, V1 = 1.00 L, and Eint 1 = 456 J and
its final state is P2 = 2.00 atm, V2 = 3.00 L, and Eint2 = 912 J. The gas is first cooled at constant
volume until it reaches its final pressure. It is then allowed to expand at constant pressure until it
reaches its final volume. (a) Illustrate this process on a PV diagram and calculate the work done by
the gas. (b) Find the heat absorbed by the gas during this process.
Q1. For a compression process
with isothermal conditions and
PV=Constant , will the moles
of compressed material stay
constant?? Prove your answer
In a heat engine, 2.60 mol of a monatomic ideal gas, initially at 4.00 atm of pressure, undergoes an isothermal expansion, increasing its volume by a factor of 9.50 at a constant temperature of 652.0 K. The gas is then compressed at a constant pressure to its original volume. Finally, the pressure is increased at constant volume back to the original pressure.
What is the heat flow into or out of the gas during process 3? in kJ
