Question

Calculate the work done by one kilomole of an ideal in gas, in mega joule, in reversibly traversing the cycle shown in figure, ten times. Indicate the direction of traversal around the cycle if the net work is done by the gas.

Moderate

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} W = Area Enclosed = (10) (4 - 1) (3 - 1) \times 10^{5} {Nm}^{- 2} \\ \Rightarrow W = 6 \times 10^{6} J = 6 MJ \end{array}$
If the net work is done by the gas, then direction of traversal around the cycle is clockwise.

Three moles of an ideal gas C_P= 7/2R at pressure P_A and temperature T_A is isothermally expanded to twice its initial volume. It is then compressed at constant pressure to its original volume. Finally the gas is compressed at constant volume to the original pressure P_A. The correct P-V and P-T diagrams indicating the process are
