The figure on the right shows the thermodynamic cycle of an engine. The efficiency of this engine for monoatomic gas is given by:
In(Tz/T) - ( - T/T)n = In(Tz/Ti) + ( - T/T)y - 1
Heating at constant volume
Isothermal expansion
Volume reduced by cooling
where T is the absolute temperature (°K), and v = 5/3. Determine Tz/Ti that results in 30% efficiency using MATLAB script by (a) Bisection method, (b) Newton-Raphson method:
