Chapter 5, Problem 5.24NP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: In the cycle, the volume at c and d needs to be determined to get the given result which is as follows:

  wcycle=nR(ThotTcold)lnVbVa

Concept introduction:

The work done for cycle is as follows:

  wcycle=nR(ThotTcold)lnVbVa

Here, work done is of cycle, n is number of moles, T is temperature for hot and cold reservoir, R is Universal gas constant.

The work done can be calculated using the two equations depending on the conditions.

  w=nRTlnVfVi

Here, n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, T is temperature, Vf is final volume and Vi is initial volume.

Also,

  w=nCV,m(TfTi)

Here, CV,m is molar heat capacity at constant volume.
