A flask contains 90.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at pressure 5.64 atm and volume 40.1 liters (point A on the graph. Now, the gas undergoes a cycle of three steps:

- First there is an isothermal expansion to pressure 3.79 atm (point B on the graph).

- Next, there is an isochoric process in which the pressure is raised to P1 (point C on the graph).

- Finally, there is an isobaric compression back to the original state (point A on the graph).

Find the total work done, in kJ, over the entire cycle (from A back to A). A positive value means work was done by the gas; a negative value means work is done on the gas.

Why is this a poor sort of engine?

3.0 moles of an ideal gas are subjected to the following processes. First the volume is tripled in an isobaric process. Then it undergoes an isothermal process to a pressure of 9.0 kPa. The volume is then cut in half in another isobaric process after being tripled. Finally, it returns to the original state in an isochoric process. (a) Draw a PV diagram of the cycle.

A mole of an ideal monatomic gas is taken through a 3-process cycle. The gas was initially at state a, with a volume of 370 cm3 and pressure 6.74 MPa. It then goes to state b through an isobaric process, before going to state c through an isochoric process. When it is at state c, it has a volume of 800 cm3. Once it is at state c, it can undergo an isothermal process to return to state a. Draw...
