A certain heat engine does 10.0 kJ of work and 8.50 kJ of heat transfer occurs to the environment in a cylindrical process. (a) What was the heat transfer to this engine? (b) What was the engine efficiency?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Heat transfer to this engine is 18.50kJ and Engine efficiency is 54.1%.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Here we have to calculate two things

  1. Heat transfer to the engine which can be find out with the help of relation W=Q1-Q2where W is the amount of work done by the Heat engine , Q1is the amount of heat drawn by the engine and Q2 is the amount of heat rejected by the engine.
  2. Engine efficiency can be calculated with the help of formula,η=WQ1.

Heat Engine is a system which converts heat into work by taking heat from hot body(reservoir) to carry out some work and there by discharging some of it at a very low temperature to cold body (sink). First and second law of thermodynamics helps in the operation of Heat engine.

02

Parameters given and what to find?

Work done by the heat Engine W=10.0kJ

Heat Transfer Q2=8.50kJ

Relation to be used W=Q1-Q2

Here

Q1 is the amount of heat rejected by the heat engine

To find Efficiency (ɳ)

Relation to be used h=WQ1

h-EngineEfficiency.W-WorkdonebytheEngine.Q1-AmountofHeatExtractedBytheengine.

03

Calculations of Heat drawn and Efficiency

W=Q1-Q2Q1=W+Q2Q1=10kJ+8.50kJQ1=18.50kJ

h=WQ1h=1018.50h=0.5405h%=54.1%

Therefore, Amount of heat Drawn by the heat engine is 18.50kJ and engine efficiency is54.1%.

(a) What is the best coefficient of performance for a refrigerator that cools an environment at −30.0ºC and has heat transfer to another environment at 45.0ºC ? (b) How much work in joules must be done for a heat transfer of 4186 kJ from the cold environment? (c) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60×106 J (a kilowatt-hour)? (d) How many kJ of heat transfer occurs into the warm environment? (e) Discuss what type of refrigerator might operate between these temperatures.

Give an example of a spontaneous process in which a system becomes less ordered and energy becomes less available to do work. What happens to the system’s entropy in this process?

A\({\bf{4}}\)-ton air conditioner removes\({\bf{5}}.{\bf{06}} \times {\bf{1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{7}}}\;{\bf{J}}\)(\({\bf{48}},{\bf{000}}\)British thermal units) from a cold environment in\({\bf{1}}.{\bf{00}}\;{\bf{h}}\). (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating ( EER) of\({\bf{12}}.{\bf{0}}\)? (b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs\({\bf{10}}.{\bf{0}}\)cents per\({\bf{3}}.{\bf{60}} \times {\bf{1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{6}}}\;{\bf{J}}\)(one kilowatt-hour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating ( EER) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.

Is a uniform-temperature gas more or less orderly than one with several different temperatures? Which is more structured? In which can heat transfer result in work done without heat transfer from another system?

Suppose you want to operate an ideal refrigerator with a cold temperature of −10.0ºC , and you would like it to have a coefficient of performance of 7.00. What is the hot reservoir temperature for such a refrigerator?
