Answer :
Answer:
Explanation:
The energy for an isothermal expansion can be computed as:
[tex]\mathsf{Q_H =nRTIn (\dfrac{V_b}{V_a})}[/tex] --- (1)
However, we are being told that the volume of the gas is twice itself when undergoing adiabatic expansion. This implies that:
[tex]V_b = 2V_a[/tex]
Equation (1) can be written as:
[tex]\mathtt{Q_H = nRT_H In (2)}[/tex]
Also, in a Carnot engine, the efficiency can be computed as:
[tex]\mathtt{e = 1 - \dfrac{T_L}{T_H}}[/tex]
[tex]e = \dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H}[/tex]
In addition to that, for any heat engine, the efficiency e =[tex]\dfrac{W}{Q_H}[/tex]
relating the above two equations together, we have:
[tex]\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} = \dfrac{W}{Q_H}[/tex]
Making the work done (W) the subject:
[tex]W = Q_H \Big(\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} \Big)[/tex]
From equation (1):
[tex]\mathsf{W = nRT_HIn(2) \Big(\dfrac{T_H-T_L}{T_H} \Big)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{W = nRIn(2) \Big(T_H-T_L} \Big)}[/tex]
If we consider the adiabatic expansion as well:
[tex]PV^y[/tex] = constant
i.e.
[tex]P_bV_b^y = P_cV_c^y[/tex]
From ideal gas PV = nRT
we can have:
[tex]\dfrac{nRT_H}{V_b}(V_b^y)= \dfrac{nRT_L}{V_c}(V_c^y)[/tex]
[tex]T_H = T_L \Big(\dfrac{V_c}{V_b}\Big)^{y-1}[/tex]
From the question, let us recall aw we are being informed that:
If the volumes changes by a factor = 5.7
Then, it implies that:
[tex]\Big(\dfrac{V_c}{V_b}\Big) = 5.7[/tex]
∴
[tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{y-1}[/tex]
In an ideal monoatomic gas [tex]\gamma = 1.6[/tex]
As such:
[tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{1.6-1}[/tex]
[tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{0.67}[/tex]
Replacing the value of [tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{0.67}[/tex] into equation [tex]\mathsf{W = nRIn(2) \Big(T_H-T_L} \Big)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{W = nRT_L In(2) (5.7 ^{0.67 }-1}})[/tex]
From in the question:
W = 930 J and the moles = 1.90
using 8.314 as constant
Then:
[tex]\mathsf{930 = (1.90)(8.314)T_L In(2) (5.7 ^{0.67 }-1}})[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{930 = 15.7966\times 1.5315 (T_L )})[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{T_L= \dfrac{930 }{15.7966\times 1.5315}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{T_L \simeq = 39 \ K}[/tex]
From [tex]T_H = T_L (5.7)^{0.67}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{T_H = 39 (5.7)^{0.67}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{T_H \simeq 125K}[/tex]
