Solution
Given:
Number of moles of the gas,
n = 0.5 mol
`"R" = 25/3 `J/mol -K
`gamma =5/3`
(a) Temperature at a = Ta
PaVa =nRTa
`=> "T""a" = ("P"_"a""V"_"a")/("n""R") = (100 xx 10^3 xx 5000 xx 10^-6)/(0.5 xx 25/3) = 120 "K"`
Similarly, temperature at b,
`"T"_"b" = ("P"_b"V"_"b")/("n""R")`
`"T"_"b" =( 100 xx 10^3 xx 10000 xx 10^-6)/(0.5 xx 25/3)`
Tb =240 K
Similarly, temperature at c is 480 K and at d is 240 K.
(b) For process ab,
dQ = ncpdT
[Since ab is isobaric]
`"d""Q" = 1/2 xx ("R"gamma)/(gamma-1) ("T"_"b" - "T"_"a")`
`"d""Q" =1/2 xx ((25 xx 5)/(3 xx 3))/(5/3 -1 ) xx (240 -120 )`
`"d""Q" = 1/2 xx 125 /9 xx 3/2 xx (120)`
dQ = 1250 J
For line bc, volume is constant. So, it is an isochoric process.
dQ = dU + dW
[dW = 0, isochoric process]
dQ = dU = nCvdT
dQ = nCv (Tc - Tb)
`"d""Q" = 1/2 xx ((25/3))/[[(5/3)-1]] xx (240)`
`"d""Q" = 1/2 xx 25/3 xx 3/2 xx 240 =1500 "J"`
(c) Heat liberated in cd (isobaric process),
dQ = − nCpdT
`"d""Q" = -1/2 xx( gamma "R")/(gamma-1) xx ("T"_d -"T"_"c")`
`"d""Q" = -1/2 xx 125/9 xx 3/2 xx ( 240 -480)`
`"d""Q" = -1/2 xx 125/6 xx 240 = 2500 "J"`
Heat liberated in da (isochoric process),
⇒ dQ = dU
Q= −nCvdT
`"d""Q" = -1/2 xx "R" /(gamma -1 )("T"_"a"-"T"_"d")`
`"d""Q" = -1/2 xx 25/2 xx (120-240)`
`"d""Q" = 25/4 xx 120 =750 "J"`
