A diatomic ideal gas acts as a heat engine following a process described by the diagram below: Step 1. Isothermal expansion at ThotThot from volume VaVa to a final volume VbVb. The final volume is a factor kk times larger than the initial volume (ie. VbVb=kVakVa).
Step 2. Isobaric contraction from volume VbVb back to original volume VaVa, and cooling from ThotThot to TcTc
Step 3. Isochoric heating returning the system to its original state.

If there are n=82.4mols of the gas, the expansion factor kk=3.2, and initial temperature ThotThot=217.8K, what is the efficiency ee of this cyclic heat engine?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
