Which, if any, of the heat engines in FIGURE EX 21.22 violate (a) the first law of thermodynamics or (b) the second law of thermodynamics? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(b) violates first law of thermodynamics .

(a) violates the second law of thermodynamics .

Step by step solution

01

- Introduction (part a)First law of thermodynamics states that energy given to the system must be equal to total energy given out . In other words , energy is always conserved . Second law states that Carnot engine has maximum efficiency . 

Step-2

In (b) total energy input is 500 J and total energy output is 200 J + 200J = 400 J . It violates first law .

Efficiency of Carnot engine = 600-300600×100=50%

efficiency of (a) = 300500×100=60%. It is more than 50% , so it violates 2 nd law.

efficiency of (b) = 200500×100=40%, it is less than 50% , so it does not violate .

efficiency of (c) = 100300×100=33.33%, it is less than 50% , so it does not violate second law.

02

step 2  Second law of thermodynamics (part b)

Option (a)

Because efficiency has beyond the limiting efficiency, it violates the second rule of thermodynamics.

The ideal gas in a Carnot engine extracts 1000Jof heat energy during the isothermal expansion at 300°C. How much heat energy is exhausted during the isothermal compression at50°C?

FIGURE P21.57shows the cycle for a heat engine that uses a gas having γ=1.25.The initial temperature isT1=300K, and this engine operates at20cycles per second.

a. What is the power output of the engine?

b. What is the engine's thermal efficiency?

The FIGURE shows the Diesel cycle. It is similar to the Otto cycle (see Problem), but there are two important differences. First, the fuel is not admitted until the air is fully compressed at point 2. Because of the high temperature at the end of adiabatic compression, the fuel begins to burn spontaneously. (There are no spark plugs in a diesel engine!) Second, combustion takes place more slowly, with fuel continuing to be injected. This makes the ignition stage a constant-pressure process. The cycle shown, for one cylinder of a diesel engine, has a displacement localid="1650278379201" Vmax-Vminof localid="1650278390412" 1000cm3and a compression ratio localid="1650278397535" r=Vmax/Vmin=21These are typical values for a diesel truck. The engine operates with intake air localid="1650278425123" (γ=1.40)at localid="1650278430754" 25°Cand localid="1650278435051" 1.0atmpressure. The quantity of fuel injected into the cylinder has a heat of combustion of localid="1650278440305" 1000J.

a. Find p, V, and Tat each of the four corners of the cycle. Display your results in a table.

b. What is the network done by the cylinder during one full cycle?

c. What is the thermal efficiency of this engine?

d. What is the power output in kW and horsepower (1hp=746W)of an eight-cylinder diesel engine running at 2400rpm?

The power output of a car engine running at 2400rpmis 500kW. How much (a) work is done and (b) heat is exhausted per cycle if the engine's thermal efficiency is 20%? Give your answers inKJ.

A Carnot refrigerator operating between -20°Cand+20°Cextracts heat from the cold reservoir at the rate200J/s. What are (a) the coefficient of performance of this refrigerator, (b) the rate at which work is done on the refrigerator, and (c) the rate at which heat is exhausted to the hot side?
