1. How much work is done by the gas in the cycle shown? A] 0 B] p 0 V 0 C] 2p 0 V 0 D] -2p 0 V 0 E] 4 p 0 V 0 How much total heat is added to the gas in the cycle shown? If “negative heat” is added to the gas, this means more heat is expelled from the gas than taken in. (The difference is the work done on the gas.)

2. In one (ccw) Carnot cycle shown, the work done by the gas is: A] + B] - C] 0

3. A] 1-2 B] 2-3 C] 3-4 D] 4-1 E] none Work < 0, so Q < 0. Along which paths is heat expelled from the gas?

4. Heat is expelled from the gas during isothermal compression 3- 4. Heat is added to the gas during isothermal expansion 1-2. More heat is expelled than added. The net effect is to take heat from a cold reservoir, and add it to a hot reservoir (along with some extra heat from the work done on the gas.) This is a fridge!

5. We can never make an engine that is more efficient than a Carnot engine. Proof by contradiction: Hook up the magic engine to a Carnot engine running in reverse! (Carnot engines are reversible… they are then fridges.) This arrangement will move heat from a cold reservoir to a hot one without external work! As that is impossible, no such engine is possible.

6. We saw that there is always heat “rejected” in a thermodynamic cycle = Q c

10. By how much does the entropy of the hot reservoir change if we go once around a Carnot cycle? A] B] C] 0 Q H is the heat added to the gas from the hot reservoir

12. If there is such a thing as entropy of a gas, then it must be a state variable, I.e. it depends only on p, V, T, composition… it’s not a process variable. Another way to see this is to consider that any Carnot cycle leaves entropy unchanged, and any path in pV can be considered as the sum of Carnot cycles!

18. Any process (reversible or irreversible) that goes from A to B will result in the same entropy change in the gas = nR ln 2, here. Consider a “free expansion” of a gas into twice the volume.

19. By how much does the entropy of the gas in a closed thermodynamic engine change if we take it once around an irreversible cycle? A]  S < 0 B] 0 C]  S > 0

21. By how much does the entropy of the surrounding reservoirs change if we take a closed thermodynamic engine once around an irreversible cycle? C]  S > 0 Consider a hot reservoir T > T H. This reservoir loses entropy (just as with the reversible cycle), but loses a little less than when T = T H. The cold reservoir with T < T c gains entropy, but gains a little more than when T=T c.

22. The laws of mechanics (and E&M, etc.) are time-reversal invariant. So how come this looks funny? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGZjCUKowIs

39. Any reversible process consists of “adjoining” Carnot cycles.  S for adjoining segments cancels. So: Entropy, like Internal Energy, is a “state” variable, and depends only on the state of a system (p, V for a gas). -> You can calculate entropy changes for irreversible processes by taking a reversible path to the same endpoint. Example: free expansion to double the volume. T f = T i.
