Air (a diatomic ideal gas) at 27.0C and atmospheric pressure is drawn into a bicycle pump (Figure P17.53) that has a cylinder with an inner diameter of 2.50 cm and length 50.0 cm. The downstroke adiabatically compresses the air, which reaches a gauge pressure of 8.00 105 Pa before entering the tire. We wish to investigate the temperature increase of the pump.

A sample of a monatomic ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a piston. Its stale is represented by the dot in the PV diagram shown in Figure OQ22.9. Arrows A through E represent isobaric, isothermal, adiabatic, and isovolumetric processes that the sample can undergo. In each process except D, the volume changes by a factor of 2. All five processes are reversible. Rank the processes according to the change in entropy of the gas from the largest positive value to the largest-magnitude negative value. In your rankings, display any cases of equality.
A 1.00-mol sample of an ideal gas ( = 1.40) is carried through the Carnot cycle described in Figure 22.11. At point A, the pressure is 25.0 atm and the temperature is 600 K.

You have a particular interest in automobile engines, so you have secured a co-op position at an automobile company while you attend school. Your supervisor is helping you to learn about the operation of an internal combustion engine. She gives you the following assignment, related to a simulation of a new engine she is designing. A gas, beginning at PA = 1.00 atm, VA = 0.500 L, and TA = 27.0C, is compressed from point A on the PV diagram in Figure P19.31 (page 530) to point B. This represents the compression stroke in a fourcycle gasoline engine. At that point, 132 J of energy is delivered to the gas at constant volume, taking the gas to point C. This represents the transformation of potential energy in the gasoline to internal energy when the spark plug fires. Your supervisor tells you that the internal energy of a gas is proportional to temperature (as we shall find in Chapter 20), the internal energy of the gas at point A is 200 J, and she wants to know what the temperature of the gas is at point C.
