Q22.1 First, the efficiency of the automobile engine cannot exceed the Carnot efficiency: it is limited by the
temperature of burning fuel and the temperature of the environment into which the exhaust is dumped. Second,
the engine block cannot be allowed to go over a certain temperature. Third, any practical engine has friction,
incomplete burning of fuel, and limits set by timing and energy transfer by heat.
Q22.3 A higher steam temperature means that more energy can be extracted from the steam. For a constant temperature
T −T T
heat sink at Tc , and steam at Th , the efficiency of the power plant goes as h c = 1 − c and is maximized for a high

Q22.8 (a) When the two sides of the semiconductor are at different temperatures, an electric potential
(voltage) is generated across the material, which can drive electric current through an
external circuit. The two cups at 50°C contain the same amount of internal energy as the pair
of hot and cold cups. But no energy flows by heat through the converter bridging between
them and no voltage is generated across the semiconductors.
(b) A heat engine must put out exhaust energy by heat. The cold cup provides a sink to absorb
output or wasted energy by heat, which has nowhere to go between two cups of equally
warm water.
Q22.12 (a) For an expanding ideal gas at constant temperature, the internal energy stays constant. The
gas must absorb by heat the same amount of energy that it puts out by work. Then its

(b) For a reversible adiabatic expansion ΔQ = 0 , and ΔS = 0 . An ideal gas undergoing an
irreversible adiabatic expansion can have any positive value for ΔS up to the value given in
part (a).

P22.27 In a cylinder of an automobile engine, just after combustion, the gas is confined to a volume of 50.0
cm3 and has an initial pressure of 3.00 × 106 Pa. The piston moves outward to a final volume of 300 cm3 and the
gas expands without energy loss by heat. (a) If γ = 1.40 for the gas, what is the final pressure? (b) How much
work is done by the gas in expanding?

energy Qc is taken in from a cold reservoir and energy Qh is rejected to a hot reservoir.
