Document Summary
These solutions use the parameter values from the problems printed in the book, not those that appear in your personal homework assignment. The logic used to get to the answer is the same, however. 1. the figure shows two closed cycles on p-v diagrams for a gas. The three parts of cycle 1 are of the same length and shape as those of cycle 2. , we know that the net that during one cycle there is no change in system"s internal energy, E work done during one cycle is equal to the net transferred heat, w = q. The net work done by the gas during one cycle is represented with the area enclosed by the curve in a p-v diagram. The net work is positive when the cycle is traversed clockwise because the work done by the gas during expansion is then larger than the work during compression. If we require y = 2x, then we have x=
