Which of the following processes involve heat?

A. The brakes in your car get hot when you stop.B. A steel block is placed under a candle.C. You push a rigid cylinder of gas across a frictionless

surface.D. You push a piston into a cylinder of gas, increasing

the temperature of the gas.E. A gas-filled, uninsulated cylinder is immersed in ice

water. The piston is covered with pellets that you slowly remove. The gas expands, causing the piston to rise. The temperature of the gas remains at 0°C.

ice water. The piston is covered with pellets that you slowly remove. The gas expands, causing the piston to rise. The temperature of the gas remains at 0°C.

The gas does work on the piston, so it loses energy. The thermal energy must remain the same for the temperature to remain fixed, so there must be heat transfer from the ice water to the gas. There will be an increase in the amount of ice in this process.

What, if anything, is wrong with this refrigerator?

A. It violates the first law of thermodynamics.B. It violates the second law of thermodynamics.C. It violates the third law of thermodynamics.D. It’s impossible to tell without knowing what kind of

cycle it uses.E. Nothing is wrong.

What, if anything, is wrong with this refrigerator?

A. It violates the first law of thermodynamics.B. It violates the second law of thermodynamics.C. It violates the third law of thermodynamics.D. It’s impossible to tell without knowing what kind

of cycle it uses.E. Nothing is wrong.

ΔEth = Q + Win by the first law and ΔEth = 0 for a cycle. We have ΔEth = (40 – 30) + 10 = 20 J for a cycle.

One version of the second law states that no cycle operating between a given two temperature extremes can exceed the efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between the same two temperature extremes. ecarnot = 1 – Tc/Th = 1 – 300/600 = 0.50 and e = W/Qh = 60/100 = 0.60.
