3/10/2014 Course Work: Analyzing the Cycle, The Carnot Engine Cycle, ActivePhysics-8.7 Heat Capacity

Analyzing the Cycle
Completed cycle of heat engine in pressure vs volume graph.  During the part A of the cycle is work done by the gas and part C is work done on the gas.  In part A, the hot water transfers just enough heat energy to the gas so that it expands at constant pressure and does work on its surroundings.  In part C, the cold water just enough cooled the gas so that it compress at constant pressure and does work done by its surroundings.  


The Carnot Engine Cycle 
Pressure vs volume graph of a completed Carnot engine cycle.  Base on the data point to find the internal energy at each point.  After calculated the internal energy, find the Q and W.  


ActivePhysics 
8.7 Heat Capacity
Using the numbers we have obtained to estimate the constant pressure molar specific heat capacity of this ideal gas.

Using the data we record to calculate the constant pressure molar heat capacity of the ideal gas.
