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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Heat energy is exhausted during the isothermal compression is560J.

Step by step solution

01

Formula for reduction of heat

The first law holds,

Qh=W+Qc

where Qh is the heat given to the gas from hot source , Qc is the heat dumped to cold source and W is work output.

Efficiency,

η=WQh

W=η²Ïh

This results is,

Qc=Qh-W=Qh(1-η)

02

Calculation for reduction of heat

Efficiency is,

η=1-TcTh

Substituting this, we find the expression for the lost heat to be,

Qc=Qh1-1-TcTh=TcThQh

The lost heat will be

Qc=50+273300+273·1000=564J

A heat engine does 200Jof work per cycle while exhausting 400Jof waste heat. What is the engine’s thermal efficiency?

There has long been an interest in using the vast quantities of thermal energy in the oceans to run heat engines. A heat engine needs a temperature difference, a hot side and a cold side. Conveniently, the ocean surface waters are warmer than the deep ocean waters. Suppose you build a floating power plant in the tropics where the surface water temperature is ≈30°C. This would be the hot reservoir of the engine. For the cold reservoir, water would be pumped up from the ocean bottom where it is always ≈5°C. What is the maximum possible efficiency of such a power plant?

A heat engine operating between energy reservoirs at20°Cand 600°Chas 30%of the maximum possible efficiency. How much energy must this engine extract from the hot reservoir to do 1000Jof work?

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is6.0 . The refrigerator's compressor uses 115Wof electric power and is 95%efficient at converting electric power into work. What are (a) the rate at which heat energy is removed from inside the refrigerator and (b) the rate at which heat energy is exhausted into the room?

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is5.0. The compressor uses10Jof energy per cycle.

a. How much heat energy is exhausted per cycle

b. If the hot-reservoir temperature is27°C, what is the lowest possible temperature inC∘of the cold reservoir?
