Question 4 of 10

1

Fill the blank space to complete the text.

This engine cycle is used in some submarines due to its low noise output and is also used in solar engines. It is also favored for uses in which a high energy fuel like petrol or diesel cannot safely be used.

Explanation

Question 6 of 10

1

Which of the following heat engines are used to move energy from a cold region to exhaust it into a hot region. This can be done via phase changes.

Select one or more of the following:

Question 7 of 10

1

If the volume on a gas is shrinking, how would you describe the work involved with the gas?

Select one of the following:

On the gas
By the gas
No work is being done on or by the gas
Through the gas

Explanation

Question 8 of 10

1

If the pressure on a gas is increasing, how could you describe the work involved?

Select one of the following:

On the gas
By the gas
No work is being done on or by the gas
Through the gas

Explanation

Question 9 of 10

1

If the pressure on a gas is decreasing, how could you describe the action of the heat in the system?

Select one of the following:

It is being extracted
It is being added
No heat is being transferred
Heat is being recycled

Explanation

Question 10 of 10

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

As a general rule, if your PV diagram is moving to the right, work is being done the gas. If your PV diagram is moving to the left, work is being done the gas. If there is no left or right motion of your PV diagram, work is being done on or by the gas.
