The cylinder is now removed from the source and placed in perfectly insulating material so that the gas now expands adiabatically and reversibly. Work is done in the expansion but since no heat enters or leaves the system, the temperature must fall. The reversible adiabatic expansion is continued till the temperature has fallen to 7, which is the temperature of the sink. Suppose the corresponding volume becomes3 The path is shown by the adiabatic curve BC in Fig. 2.1.

Here, again w, is negative by the usual conventions of sign. Dividing equation (12) by equation (2), we get IL Isothermal Compression. The cylinder is now removed from the insulating material andplaced in ntact with the sink (i.e., the heat reversoirat the lower temperature 77). The gas is compressed isothermally i reversibly till the volume decreases from V to V. The process is represented by the path CD in F1g. 2.1. work done is taken as positive by the usual conventions of sigr and hence will be given by which gives the efficiency of the Carnot cycle or engine, .4) " = RT, In THERMODYNAMICS II Pradeep's PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY VOL. 11

The numerical value of this work is negative and the magnitude of the work is given by the area under the curve...so here work is equal to magnitude of w1 that is |w1| which is wor...

So it is shown negative but its magnitude is taken so taken as positive
