The heat engine shown in FIGURE P21.62uses 2.0molof a monatomic gas as the working substance.

a. Determine T1,T2, and T3.

b. Make a table that shows 螖贰th,Ws, and Qfor each of the three processes.

c. What is the engine's thermal efficiency?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Temperatures are1800K,localid="1650287827871" 600K,1200K.

b. The result table is,

c. The engines thermal efficiency is localid="1650287302503" 5.9%.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation for temperature (part a)

a.

The ideal gas law,

pV=nRT

T=pVnR

The temperature at the first state is,

T1=4105Pa0.025m328.314

=600K

T2=3T1=1800K

T3=2T1=1200K

02

Calculation of processes.(part b )

b.

We have a job for process 12that can be calculated as the area of the trapezoid, giving us 12.5kJ. localid="1650286493696" Eth=212.5kJ1200K=30Jwas discovered to be the energy change. The heat provided was42.5Jaccording to the first law.

For process 23the work is zero, while the heat released is equal to the decrease in internal energy, both being 212.5kJ600K=15kJ.

For process 31the work done by the gas is -10kJThe change in internal energy will be 212.5kJ600K=15kJ.

The heat released will be5kJ .

03

Result in table (part b) solution

b.

04

Calculation for thermal efficiency (part c)

c.

The total work done per cycle is 2.5kJ.

The heat is 42.5kJ.

The thermal efficiency is,

=2.5kJ42.5kJ

=5.9%

Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the thermal efficiencies 1to 4of the four heat engines in FIGURE Q21.5. Explain.

What are (a) the heat extracted from the cold reservoir and (b) the coefficient of performance for the refrigerator shown in Figure Ex-21.20?

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.

A nuclear power plant generates 3000MWof heat energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor鈥檚 core. This energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 300C. The steam spins a turbine, which produces 1000MWof electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 25Cbefore starting the cycle again.

a. What is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of the power plant?

b. What is the plant鈥檚 actual efficiency?

c. Cooling water from a river flows through the condenser (the low-temperature heat exchanger) at the rate of 1.2*108L/h ( 30 million gallons per hour). If the river water enters the condenser at 18C, what is its exit temperature?

A heat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. The same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. Heat pumps are widely used for home heating. You can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat QH, warming the indoors. Perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. Electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. This is a direct, 100%conversion of work to heat. That is, 15kWof electric power (generated by doing work at the rate of 15kJ/sat the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 15kJ/s. Suppose that the neighbor鈥檚 home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 5.0, a realistic value. Note that 鈥渨hat you get鈥 with a heat pump is heat delivered, QH, so a heat pump鈥檚 coefficient of performance is defined asK=QH/Win.

a. How much electric power inkWdoes the heat pump use to deliver 15kJ/sof heat energy to the house?

b. An average price for electricity is about 40MJper dollar. A furnace or heat pump will run typically 250 hours per month during the winter. What does one month鈥檚 heating cost in the home with a 15kW electric heater and in the home of the neighbor who uses a heat pump?
