Problem 13. A sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process
abca shown in the figure below; at point a, T=200 K. (a) How many
moles of gas are in the sample? What are (b) the temperature of the gas
at point b, (c) the temperature of the gas at point c, and (d) the net
energy added to the gas as heat during the cycle?

(a) Applying the equation of state:


pV
pV  nRT  n 
RT
At point a, p=2.5 kN/m2 or 2500 N/m2;
V=1 m3; T = 200 K

n  1.5 (mol)

(b) pV  nRT  pbVb  nRTb
At point b, p=7.5 kN/m2 or 7500 N/m2;
V=3 m3.

pV  nRT  pcVc  nRTc
(c) Tc=600 K;
(d) Applying the first law of thermodynamics:

E  Q  W
W: work done by the system.

For a closed cycle, E=0:

Problem 14. In the temperature range 310 K to 330 K, the pressure p of
a certain non-ideal gas is related to volume V and temperature T by:

T T
p  (24.9 J / K )  (0.00662 J / K 2 )
V V
How much work is done by the gas if its temperature is raised from
315 K to 330 K while the pressure is held constant?

Work done by the gas is computed by the following formula:

W  VVi f pdV  p (V f  Vi ) Due to the constant pressure process

W  pV f  pVi  24.9(T f  Ti )  0.00662(T f2  Ti2 )

T f  330K ; Ti  315K  W  310 (J)
