Question: A heat engine with 0.20 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 2000 cm 3 cylinder at 600 K. The gas goes through

A heat engine with 0.20 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 2000 cm3 cylinder at 600 K. The gas goes through the following closed cycle:

■ Isothermal expansion to 4000 cm3.
■ Isochoric cooling to 300 K.
■ Isothermal compression to 2000 cm3.
■ Isochoric heating to 600 K.
How much work does this engine do per cycle and what is its thermal efficiency?
