Entia non multiplicanda sunt praeter necessitatem
- DO NOT OPEN THIS TEST UNTIL YOU ARE GIVEN THE SIGNAL TO BEGIN.
- Work Part A first. You have 90 minutes to complete all four problems.
- After you have completed Part A, you may take a break.
- Then work Part B. You have 90 minutes to complete both problems.
- Show all work, as partial credit may be earned.
- Begin each problem on a fresh sheet of paper. In the upper right-hand corner of each page, write your name (last name first), the problem number, and the page number / total number of pages for that particular problem, for example:
Einstein, Albert
A2 - 3/4 for “Problem A2, page 3 of 4”
- A hand-held calculator may be used. Its memory must be cleared of data and programs. You may not use any books, notes, tables, or collections of formulas.
- Best wishes for an outstanding exam!

Условие
Two moles of monatomic ideal gas are taken through the reversible cycle shown on the diagram below. The cycle forms a rectangle, starting from State A at , to State B at , to State C at , to State D at , and back to State A. Express all answers to the following questions in terms of , , and the ideal gas constant .

a. Calculate the net work done by the gas during the cycle. [5 т.]
b. Calculate the net heat transferred between the gas and the surroundings during one cycle. [5 т.]
c. Calculate cycle’s thermodynamic efficiency when operating as an engine. [10 т.]
d. Calculate the change in entropy of the gas as the system goes from State A to State D. [5 т.]
