Conceptual Questions
19.1. Ws = W .
(a) W < 0, Ws > 0. Work is done by the system; the area under the curve is positive.
(b) W > 0, Ws < 0. Work is done on the system to compress it to a smaller volume.
(c) W > 0, Ws < 0. More work is done on the system than by the system.
19.2. W3 > W1 = W2 > W4 . The amount of work done by the gas is the area inside the closed cycle loop (traversed in
a clockwise direction).

In stage 1 the volume is fixed (so no work is done) but the temperature increases, so heat was added. In stage 2 on the
isotherm work is done by the gas. In stage 3 work is done on the gas and heat is removed.

19.9. (a) No, the purpose of a refrigerator is to remove heat from the cold reservoir, and this diagram dumps heat
into the cold reservoir.

19.10. No. The first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) for a refrigerator or air conditioner requires
QH = QC + W . There are no perfect refrigerators (second law), so W > 0 (work must be done by the compressor) and
thus QH > QC . Because the air conditioner exhausts more heat into the room than it extracts from the room, the net
effect is to increase the room temperature, not decrease it.
19.11. Yes, the first law says that energy is conserved, so we will never get more work out of the heat engine than
heat energy is transferred to the system. In fact, the second law (informal statement #4) says that there are no perfect
heat engines with = 1, so there is always some waste heat exhausted to the cold reservoir.

19.2. Solve: During each cycle, the work done by the engine is Wout = 200 J and the engine exhausts QC = 400 J
of heat energy. By conservation of energy,
QH = Wout + QC = 200 J + 400 J = 600 J
Thus, the efficiency of the engine is

That is, each second the electric power plant discharges 1.913 109 J of energy into the ocean. Since a typical
American house needs 2.0 104 J of energy per second for heating, the number of houses that could be heated with
the waste heat is (1.913 109 J)/(2.0 104 J) = 96,000.
19.8. Solve: The amount of heat removed from the water in cooling it down in 1 hour is QC = mwater cwater T . The
mass of the water is
mwater = waterVwater = (1000 kg/m3 )(1 L) = (100 kg/m3 )(103 m3 ) = 1.0 kg
QC = (1.0 kg)(4190 J/kg K)(20C 5C) = 6.285 104 J
The rate of heat removal from the refrigerator is
QC =
6.285 104 J
= 17.46 J/s
3600 s
The refrigerator does work W = 8.0 W = 8.0 J/s to remove this heat. Thus the performance coefficient of the refrigerator is
K=

8.0 J/s
because of the increase in volume. Since Q = 0 J = Ws + Eth , Eth is negative for process B. Process C is isothermal,

so T is constant and hence Eth = 0 J. The work done Ws is positive because the gas expands. Because
Q = Ws + Eth , Q is positive for process B. Process D is isobaric, so the decrease in volume leads to a decrease in
temperature and hence a decrease in the thermal energy. Due to the decrease in volume, Ws is negative. Because

(Ws = 0 J), and Q is positive as heat energy is added to raise the temperature (Eth positive). Process C is isothermal so T = 0 and Eth = 0 J. The gas is compressed, so Ws is negative. Q = Ws for an isothermal process, so Q is

Because Wout = QH QC , the heat exhausted is
QC = QH Wout = (225 J + 90 J) 30 J = 315 J 30 J = 285 J
Wout = 12 (300 kPa 100 kPa)(600 cm3 200 cm3 ) = 12 (200 103 Pa)(400 106 m3 ) = 40 J

and Wout = 300 J, so the first law of thermodynamics is obeyed. For engine (b), QH = 500 J, QC = 200 J and
Wout = 200 J, so the first law is violated. For engine (c) QH = 300 J, QC = 200 J and Wout = 100 J, so the first law of

This is the minimum possible temperature. In a real engine, the hot-reservoir temperature would be higher than

Carnot = 1
TC
TH
TC = TH (1 Carnot

The difference of these TC values is 135 K, so the temperature of the cold reservoir should be decreased by 135C to
raise the efficiency from 40% to 60%.

The heat exhausted by the refrigerator to the hot reservoir may be found from the first law of thermodynamics:
(Win ) Refrigerator + QC = QH
Assess: The work done on the refrigerator is less than the heat exhausted to the hot reservoir, as expected.
19.44. Model: A heat pump is a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and warming the indoors with
its exhaust heat.
Solve: (a) The coefficient of performance for this heat pump is K = 5.0 = QC /Win , where QC is the amount of heat
removed from the cold reservoir. QH is the amount of heat exhausted into the hot reservoir. QH = QC + Win , where
Win is the amount of work done on the heat pump. We have
QC = 5.0Win
If the heat pump is to deliver 15 kJ of heat per second to the house, then
QH = 15 kJ = 6.0Win
Win =
15 kJ
= 2.5 kJ

In other words, 2.5 kW of electric power is used by the heat pump to deliver 15 kJ/s of heat energy to the house.

Because 1 > max , the first student has proposed an engine that would violate the second law of thermodynamics. His or
her design will not work. The efficiency of the engine designed by the second student is 2 = 90 J / 250 J = 0.36 < max
in agreement with the second law of thermodynamics. Applying the first law of thermodynamics,
QH = QC + Wout
250 J = 170 J + 90 J
we see the first law is violated. This design will not work as claimed. The design by the third student satisfies the first
law of thermodynamics because QH = QC + Wout = 250 J. The thermal efficiency of this engine is 3 = 0.36 < max ,
which satisfies the second law of thermodynamics. The data presented by students 1 and 2 are faulty. Only student 3
has an acceptable design.

(b) In one second, the plant generates Wout = 1000 106 J of work and QH = 3000 106 J of heat energy to replace
the energy taken from the hot reservoir to heat the water. The plants actual efficiency is

(c) While its true that the ocean contains vast amounts of thermal energy, that energy can be extracted to do useful
work only if there is a cold reservoir at a lower temperature. That is, the ocean has to be the hot reservoir of a heat
engine. But theres no readily available cold reservoir, so the oceans energy cannot readily be tapped. There have
been proposals for using the colder water near the bottom of the ocean as a cold reservoir, pumping it up to the surface where the heat engine is. Although possible, the very small temperature difference between the surface and the
ocean depths implies that the maximum possible efficiency (the Carnot efficiency) is only a few percent, and the
efficiency of any real ocean-driven heat engine would likely be less than 1%perhaps much less. Thus the second
law of thermodynamics prevents us from using the thermal energy of the ocean. Save your money. Dont invest.

19.62. Model: For the closed cycle of the heat engine, process 1 2 is isothermal, process 2 3 is isobaric, and
process 3 1 is isochoric. For a diatomic gas CV = 52 R and = 75 .
Visualize: Please refer to the figure below.
Solve: (a) Begin by expressing the pressure, volume, and temperature in terms of the pressure, volume, and temperature at
point 1. In the isothermal expansion 1 2, the volume is halved so the pressure must double (ideal gas equation).
Therefore p2 = 2p1. Because 2 3 is isobaric, p3 = p2 = 2 p1. We are given that V2 = V1/2 and that V3 = V1. Finally,
we know that T2 = T1 because they are on the same isotherm, and the ideal gas equation gives

The heat transferred from the hot reservoir into the heat engine (> 0) is done in the isochoric segment 2 3. The
total work done by the system is

Solve: (a) Except in an adiabatic process, heat must be transferred into the gas to raise its temperature. Thus heat is
transferred in during processes 4 3 and 3 2. This is the reverse of the heat engine in Example 19.2.

(b) Heat flows from hot to cold. Since heat energy is transferred into the gas during processes 4 3 and 3 2,
which end with the gas at temperature 2700 K, the reservoir temperature must be T > 2700 K. This is the hot
reservoir, so the heat transferred is QH . Similarly, heat energy is transferred out of the gas during processes 2 1
and 1 4. This requires that the reservoir temperature be T < 300 K. This is the cold reservoir, and the energy transferred during these two processes is QC .
(c) The heat energies were calculated in Example 19.2, but now they have the opposite signs.
(p )( V ) = ( 2 101,300 Pa )(2 m3 ) = 4.05 105 J. Note that Win = QC Q , as expected from energy conservation.
(e) No. A refrigerator uses work input to transfer heat energy from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir. This device
uses work input to transfer heat energy from the hot reservoir to the cold reservoir.

19.69. Model: The heat engine follows a closed cycle, starting and ending in the original state.
Visualize: The figure indicates the following seven steps. First, the pin is inserted when the heat engine has the initial conditions. Second, heat is turned on and the pressure increases at constant volume from 1 to 3 atm. Third, the
pin is removed. The flame continues to heat the gas and the volume increases at constant pressure from 50 cm3 to
100 cm3. Fourth, the pin is inserted and some of the weights are removed. Fifth, the container is placed on ice and
the gas cools at constant volume to a pressure of 1 atm. Sixth, with the container still on ice, the pin is removed. The
gas continues to cool at constant pressure to a volume of 50 cm3. Seventh, with no ice or flame, the pin is inserted
back in and the weights returned bringing the engine back to the initial conditions and ready to start over.

19.70. Model: System 1 undergoes an isochoric process and system 2 undergoes an isobaric process.
Solve: (a) Heat will flow from system 1 to system 2 because system 1 is hotter. Because there is no heat input from
(or loss to) the outside world, we have Q1 + Q2 = 0 J. Heat Q1, which is negative, will change the temperature of
system 1. Heat Q2 will both change the temperature of system 2 and do work by lifting the piston. But these consequences of heat flow dont change the fact that Q1 + Q2 = 0 J. System 1 undergoes constant volume cooling from

T1i = 600 K to Tf . System 2, whose pressure is controlled by the weight of the piston, undergoes constant pressure
heating from T2i = 300 K to Tf . Thus,
Q1 + Q2 = 0 J = n1CV (Tf T1i ) + n2CP (Tf T2i ) = n1
(b) Knowing Tf , we can compute the heat transferred from system 1 to system 2:
Eth = n2CV T = n2
According to the first law of thermodynamics, Q2 = WS + Eth . Thus, the work done by system 2 is
WS = Q Eth = 102.0 J 61.2 J = 40.8 J. The work is done to lift the weight of the cylinder and the air above it by a
height y. The weight of the air is wair = pA = p r 2 = (101.3 10 N/m 2 ) (0.050 m) 2 = 795.6 N. Therefore,
