These are concept questions that involve basic understanding and a few key equations. There is essentially very little that you can “look up” from your book or notes. There are essentially no "equations to find." You should have the basic concept equations in your head.
**3. It is recommended that you work in this booklet, and wait until 10-20 minutes before the end of the period to mark your answer sheet. Mark up the booklet any way you like. It is recommended that you not waste time erasing. This is a workbook.
Addendum on academic integrity: the academic integrity policy for this course is stated briefly in the syllabus and in detail in the separate document posted on RamCT. Failure to abide by these rules will be considered academic dishonesty and will be dealt with according to university policy. For exams: exams are to be your own work, and no consultation with other persons, directly or indirectly, is allowed. You are not allowed to use any materials unless specifically authorized to do by course policy or by the instructor. It is never acceptable to copy work from another student.

TB4 The PV diagram in the figure is for n moles of an ideal monatomic gas. The gas is initially at point A. The paths AD and BC represent adiabatic processes. R is the universal gas constant. Let the temperatures at the labeled points be denoted as T (^) A, T (^) B ,
etc. The numbers on the axes of the graph are not relevant to this problem. If the system is brought to point C along the path A→B→C, what is the change in the internal energy of the gas?
When an ideal gas undergoes a temperature change at constant volume, its internal energy change is given by ∆ E (^) int = C (^) V ∆ T. However, this equation also correctly gives the change in
internal energy whether the volume remains constant or not. Which statement below explains why this is so?
TB4 When an ideal gas undergoes a temperature change at constant volume, the heat input is connected to the change in temperature through Q in (^) = CV ∆ T , where CV is the specific heat at
constant pressure. When the temperature change occurs at constant pressure, one has Q in (^) = C (^) P ∆ T , where C (^) P = CV + nR is the specific heat at constant pressure. What is the origin
of the extra " nR "term when one goes from a constant volume to a constant pressure process?
TB4 When an ideal gas undergoes an isothermal expansion, the pressure volume connection P = nRT / V follows directly from the perfect gas law. When we expand a gas adiabatically, we
obtain a very different looking result, namely,
constant P V^ γ
always greater than unity. This means that the pressure falls off more rapidly with increasing volume for an adiabatic expansion than for an isothermal expansion. What is the physical reason for this more rapid fall off?

During an isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, the pressure starts out at some pressure P 0 and
volume V 0. As the expansion proceeds, the pressure drops by a factor of two (to P 0 (^) / 2) and the
volume doubles to 2 V 0. The gas is then compressed adiabatically from this
( P V , ) = ( P 0 (^) / 2, 2 V 0 )point back to its original volume ( V (^) 0 ) but the pressure is now equal to f P 0 , where f is some number that is greater than 1. What is the correct connection between
constant pressure and volume respectively).
The figure to the right shows a PV diagram for a standard Carnot gas cycle (reversible, quasi-static). The cycle goes
1 → 2 (isothermal at temperature T h - hot bath), 2 → 3
(adiabatic from T h down to T c - cold bath), 3 → 4 (isothermal at temperature T c ), and finally (for one cycle)
4 → 1 (adiabatic from T c back to T h ). For which leg is the change in internal energy ( ∆ E (^) int) positive?

for leg 1 → 2 and heat Qout flows out of the gas into the
cold bath for leg 3 → 4. Take the total work by the gas for
the cycle as Wby total. In terms of these parameters (if
needed), what is the total change in the internal energy of
the gas ( ∆ E (^) int^ total ) as one goes around one complete cycle?

For a Carnot refrigerator, the cycle shown in figure to the right is run backwards so that the Q (^) in shown flowing into
the gas from the hot bath for leg 1 → 2 now becomes a refrig Qout flowing into the hot bath for a 2 → 1 leg, the Qout
shown flowing out of the gas into the cold bath for leg
3 → 4 becomes a Qin refrig flowing into the gas from the
cold bath, and the previous total work done by the Carnot engine, Wby total , now becomes the total work done on the gas
( Won total ) from an external power source. Qin refrig , Qout refrig ,
and Won total are positive quantities. Which of the following
refrigerator parameter connections is valid? Hint: It is suggested that you redraw arrows and re- label parameters on the diagram to help your reasoning.
