Question:

An air conditioner run on electricity and based on a (ideal) Carnot cycle operates between temperatures T = 25 C and T+ = 40 C. The gas in the air conditioner has γ = 1.75. The AC is designed to remove 10000 BTU/h from a living space. How much electric power does it draw? Suppose the gas in the AC has a pressure of 2 atm at its maximum volume, which is 1 L, and the minimum volume is 0.4 L. At what rate must the AC cycle in order to accomplish its mission?
