Problem P. 4386. (November 2011)

P. 4386. A sample of ideal gas of some mass is taken through the cyclic process shown in the figure. The temperature of the gas at state A is TA=200 K, and at state C is TC=1800 K.

a) By what factor is the pressure at state B greater than at state D?

b) What temperature belongs to the isotherm which goes through the centre of the circle?

c) Prove with calculations that the temperatures at state B and D are the same.

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. \(\displaystyle a)\) \(\displaystyle p_{B}=3\cdot p_{D}.\)

\(\displaystyle b)\) \(\displaystyle T_\text{közép}=4\,T_{A}=800\) K.

\(\displaystyle c)\) \(\displaystyle T_{B}=3\cdot 1 \cdot T_{A}= 1\cdot 3 \cdot T_{A}=T_{D}=600~\)K.
