1. Suppose 0.2 mol of an ideal diatomic gas (γ = 1.40) undergoes a Carnot cycle between
237˚C and 27˚C, starting at P₁ = 106 Pa at point a in the Pv-diagram. The volume doubles
during the isothermal expansion step 1 → 2 and will decrease 1/3 times in the isothermal
step 3 → 4 (V₂ = 2V₁ & V3 = 2V4). Find Q and W for each step and for the entire cycle (Cv
= 20.8 J/mol K) ?
2. Suatu bagian pada refrigerator dijaga temperaturnya agar tetap konstan pada 4˚C dengan
menghilangkan panas didalamnya sebesar QL 360 kJ/menit. Jika daya yang dibutuhkan
oleh refrigerator adalah 2kW, hitung (a) coefficient of performance (COP) dari refrigerator
tersebut dan (b) panas yang dibuang ke lingkungan (QH).

SOLUTION
1. Given : n = 0,2 mol
γ = 1,4
TH = 237oC = 510 K
TC = 27oC = 300 K
P₁ = 106 Pa
V₂ = 2V₁
V3 = 2V4
Cv = 20.8 J/mol K

Asked : Q and W for each step and for the entire cycle ?

Answer :

For the isothermal expansion 1→ 2, ∆U12 = 0

𝑉
W12 = QH = nRTH In 𝑉2
1
2𝑉1
QH = (0,2 mol) (8,314 J/mol.K) (510 K) (𝐼𝑛 )
𝑉1
QH = 587,808 J

For the adiabatic expansion 2 → 3, Q23 = 0

∆U23 = Q23 - W23
 ∆U23 = - W23
∆U = nCv∆T , where ∆T = TC - TH

- W23 = ∆U23
W23 = - ∆U23
W23 = - nCv(TC - TH)
W23 = nCv(TH – TC)
W23 = (0,2 mol) (20.8 J/mol K) (510 K – 300 K)
W23 = 873,6 J
For the isothermal compression 3 → 4, ∆U34 = 0
𝑉
W34 = QC = nRTC In 𝑉4
3
𝑉
QC = (0,2 mol) (8,314 J/mol.K) (300 K) (𝐼𝑛 2𝑉4 )
4
QC = -345,769 J
For the adiabatic compression 4 → 1, Q41 = 0
∆U = nCv∆T , where ∆T = TH – TC

- W41 = ∆U41
W41 = - ∆U41
W41 = - nCv(TH – TC)
W41 = nCv(TC – TH)
W41 = (0,2 mol) (20.8 J/mol K) (300 K – 510 K)
W41 = - 873,6 J

We can tabulate the results as follows:

Process Q W ∆U
1→2 587,808 J 587,808 J 0
2→3 0 873,6 J -873,6 J
3→4 -345,769 J -345,7695 J 0
4→1 0 - 873,6 J 873,6 J
Total 242,039 J 242,039 J 0

Asked :
a. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigerator ?
b. QH ?

Answer :
a. COP of the refrigerator (COPR)

 The COP of the refrigerator is 3. Its mean 3 kJ of heat is removed per kJ of
work supplied.
b. The rate of heat rejection can be obtained by applying the first law of
thermodynamics
𝑄𝐻 = 𝑄𝐿 + 𝑊𝑛𝑒𝑡,𝑖𝑛
