Stirling Engine

The above left is an ideal alpha type Stirling engine and the above right is a pressure/volume graph of the idealized Stirling cycle. A Stirling engine is a heat engine operating by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. Which of the following explanations is NOT correct?

a) The pressure of the gas at B is 2 P . 2P.

b) The temperature of the gas decreases in the process B \to C .

c) In the process C \to D , the released heat by the gas is the same as the work done on the gas.

d) The gas absorbs heat in the process A \to B \to C .

d) a) c) b)

yyiiiippie just concept

the ans is both a and D.......becoz from thew diagram it is clear that at point B pressure will not be 2P for such a small change

hmm.. i think that explanation d) is incorrect because the process B-C is not absorbing heat, i think in the process B-C the temperature of gas is decreasing due to Isochoric process, that is P1/TI = P2/T2. Thank You :)
