Question

Calculate the efficiency of the Carnot Engine for ideal gas. Consider the figure below for a complete cycle of Carnot engine, where the cycle goes from ad->ab->bc->cd

Where segments ad & bc are the
processes and segment ab & cd are the
processes;
and the volumes involved are Va, Vb, Vc, Vd, and the two temperatures TC and
Sol.
Since AU = 0, then the heat on segment ab is
QH =
TH In |
The heat on segment cd is
QC= -
TC In
By inspection, we can say that
THV-
VY-1
H'b
and
TH
Y-1
Thus,
Vb/
then
|QC/QH| =
Which solves the efficiency of the Carnot engine.
