Heat and Thermodynamics 5 Question 2

2. A sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process abca as shown in the figure. The change in the internal energy of the gas along the path ca is 180J. The gas absorbs 250J of heat along the path ab and 60J along the path bc. The work done by the gas along the path abc is

Solution:

  1. Key Idea In pV curve, work done dW, change in internal energy ΔU and heat absorbed ΔQ are connected with first law of thermodynamics, i.e.

ΔQ=ΔU+dW

and total change in internal energy in complete cycle is always zero. Using this equation in different part of the curve, we can solve the

given problem.

In Process ab

 Given, ΔQab=250J250J=ΔUab+dWab

In Process bc

 Given, ΔQbc=60J

Also, V is constant, so dV=0

dWbc=p(dV)bc=060J=ΔUbc+0ΔUbc=60J

In Process ca

Given, ΔUca=180J

Now, for complete cycle,

ΔUabca=ΔUab+ΔUbc+ΔUca=0

From Eqs. (iii), (iv) and (v), we get

ΔUab=ΔUbcΔUcaΔUab=60+180=120J

From Eq. (ii), we get

250J=120J+dWabdWab=130J

From Eqs. (i) and (vii), we get

Work done by the gas along the path abc,

dWabc=dWab+dWbc=130J+0KdWabc=130J
