Question

We will operate a 4-stage heat engine. The cycle of the heat engine is schematically shown in the figure above (page 192 in the lab manual). In the process from point b to point c, the gas in the engine is heated to a higher temperature. As the gas is heated, it expands pushing the syringe piston up. Let's assume that this process is isobaric. The temperature of the gas at point b is 20 ° C, and the gas temperature at point c is 58.1 ° C. If the diameter of the syringe piston is 1 cm and the volume of the gas at point b is 26.8 cm3, how much will the piston be pushed up at point c compared to its height at point b?

cm

Explanation / Answer
