    The document discusses ideal gas cycles, focusing on the Carnot cycle. It defines the Carnot cycle as the most efficient thermodynamic cycle, consisting of four processes: 1) reversible isothermal heat addition, 2) reversible adiabatic expansion, 3) reversible isothermal heat rejection, and 4) reversible adiabatic compression, returning the system to its initial state. It provides key formulas for calculating heat added and rejected, net work output, cycle efficiency, volume displacement, and more. Sample problems demonstrate using the formulas to analyze ideal gas cycle systems and calculate temperatures, efficiencies, and other properties. The activity asks students to create a one-page summary of key formulas and schematic diagrams for common

    CORE CONTENT
    CARNOT CYCLE

    – most efficient Thermodynamic Cycle


    – heat is transferred during Isothermal Process
    – during Isentropic Compression, the pressure increases
    – during Isentropic Expansion, the pressure decreases
    – Mean Effective Pressure (MEP) is the ratio of the Net Work
    and the Volume Displacement

    Carnot Heat engine (based on Carnot Cycle) was a concept developed by Nicolas Leonard
    Sadi Carnot (1796-1832, a French Military Engineer and Physicist) so that one can visualize a
    reversible heat engine in practice. Carnot engine is a reversible heat engine which works on
    Carnot cycle.

    Carnot cycle comprises of four processes.


    1. Reversible isothermal process of heat addition (Process A-B)
    2. Reversible adiabatic process of expansion (Process B-C)
    3. Reversible isothermal process of heat rejection (Process C-D)
    4. Reversible adiabatic process of compression (Process D-A)
    Carnot Heat Engine
    Now we understand Carnot engine physically in the following way.

    Process A-B

    In this process heat is released from the hot reservoir and is absorbed by the ideal gas
    particles within the system. Thus, the temperature of the system rises. The high temperature
    causes the gas particles to expand hence pushing the piston upwards and doing work on the
    surroundings.

    Process B-C
    In this process expansion continuous, however there is no heat exchange between the
    system and the surroundings. Thus, the system is undergoing adiabatic expansion. The expansion
    allows the ideal gas particles to cool, decreasing the temperature of the system.

    Process C-D

    In this process surroundings do work on the system which causes heat to be released. The
    temperature within the system remains the same. Thus, isothermal expansion occurs.

    Process D-A

    No heat exchange occurs in this process however, the surroundings continue to do work
    on the system. Adiabatic compression occurs which raises the temperature of the system and
    puts the piston back to its original state (Prior to process A-B).
    SUMMARY OF FORMULAS

    Heat Added, QA
    QA = T1 (S1 – S4)

    Heat Rejected, QR
    QR = T2 (S1 – S4)

    Net Work Output, W


    W= QA – QR
    W= (T1 – T2)(S1 – S4)

    Cycle Efficiency, e
    W
    e= QA

    T1 − T2
    e= T1

    where:
    T1 = maximum absolute temperature
    T2 = minimum absolute temperature
    Volume Displacement, VD
    VD = V2 – V3

    SAMPLE PROBLEMS

    1. A Carnot engine requires 35 kJ/sec from the hot source. The engine produces 15 kW of power
    and the temperature of the sink is 26°C. What is the temperature of the hot source?
    523.25 K

    2. The maximum thermal efficiency possible for a power cycle operating between 1200°F and
    225°F is:
    58.73%

    3. A Carnot engine receives 130 BTU of heat from a hot reservoir at 700°F and rejects 49 BTU of
    heat. Calculate the temperature of the cold reservoir.
