Two kilograms of air within a piston-cylinder assembly execute a Carnot power cycle within maximum and minimum temperature of 750 K and 300 K, respectively. The heat transfer to the air during the isothermal expansion is 60 kJ. At the end of the isothermal expansion the volume is 0.4 m3 . Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine (a) the thermal efficiency. (b) the pressure (in kPa) and volume (in m3 ) at the beginning of the isothermal expansion. (c) the work and heat transfer for each of the four processes (in kJ). (d) Sketch the cycle on p-V coordinates

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

Atank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 k and pressure of 1.00 atm . part a the tank is heated until the pressure of the gas in the tank doubles. what is the temperature of the gas?

9. an object is moved from the outdoors, which is at a temperature of 100 ºf, to a room at a temperature of 70 º f. what happens to the object when it’s placed in the room with a lower temperature? the object gives off more energy than it absorbs until it reaches a new lower thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy absorbed and given off is the same. the object gives off the same amount of energy as it absorbs until it reaches a new lower thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy given off is greater than the amount of energy it absorbs. the object gives off more energy than it absorbs until it reaches a new higher thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy absorbed and given off is the same. the object absorbs more energy than it gives off until it reaches a new lower thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy absorbed and given off is the same.
