Question:(II) A four-cylinder gasoline engine has an efficiency of 0.22 and delivers 180 J of work per cycle per cylinder. If the engine runs at 25 cycles per second (1500 rpm), determine (a) the work done per second, and (b) the total heat input per second from the gasoline. (c) If the energy content of gasoline is 130 MJ per gallon, how long does one gallon last?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done per second is (a) \(18000\;{\rm{J/s}}\), the total heat input per second is (b) \(8.1 \times {10^4}\;{\rm{J/s}}\) and the time for which one gallon gasoline lasts is (c) \(1604.9\;{\rm{s}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The efficiency is \(\eta = 0.22\).

The energy delivered by engine is \(W = 180\;{\rm{J}}\).

The revolution per minute for engine is \(n = 1500\;{\rm{rpm}}\).

The energy content of gasoline is \({Q_{\rm{g}}} = 130\;{\rm{MJ/gal}}\).

02

Understanding power and work done of the engine

The power can be determined by using the standard relation of power and work done. The power is equivalent to the work done by the engine in a unit time.

03

Calculation of work done per second

The relation of work done per second is given by,

\(\begin{aligned}{l}\frac{W}{t} &= \left( {180\;\frac{{\rm{J}}}{{{\rm{cycle}} \cdot {\rm{cylinder}}}}} \right)\left( {4\;{\rm{cylinders}}} \right)\left( {25\;\frac{{{\rm{cycles}}}}{{\rm{s}}}} \right)\\\frac{W}{t} &= 18000\;{\rm{J/s}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus,\(\frac{W}{t} = 18000\;{\rm{J/s}}\) is the required work per second.

04

Calculation of rate of heat input

The relation of efficiency is given by,

\(\begin{aligned}{l}\eta &= \frac{W}{Q}\\Q &= \frac{W}{\eta }\\\frac{Q}{t} &= \frac{W}{t}\left( {\frac{1}{\eta }} \right)\end{aligned}\)

Here, \(\frac{Q}{t}\) is the rate of heat output and W is the work done.

On plugging the values in the above relation.

\(\begin{aligned}{l}\frac{Q}{t} &= \left( {18000\;{\rm{J/s}}} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{0.22}}} \right)\\\frac{Q}{t} &= 8.1 \times {10^4}\;{\rm{J/s}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, \(\frac{Q}{t} = 8.1 \times {10^4}\;{\rm{J/s}}\) is the required rate of heat output.

05

Calculation of time consumed by gallon of gasoline

The relation to find the time is given by,

\(t = \frac{{{Q_{\rm{g}}}}}{{\left( {\frac{Q}{t}} \right)}}\)

On plugging the values in the above relation.

\(\begin{aligned}{l}t &= \left( {\frac{{130\;{\rm{MJ/gal}} \times \frac{{{{10}^6}\;{\rm{J/gal}}}}{{1\;{\rm{MJ/gal}}}}}}{{8.1 \times {{10}^4}\;{\rm{J/s}}}}} \right)\\t &= 1604.9\;{\rm{s}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, \(t = 1604.9\;{\rm{s}}\) is the required time.

Question: (a) At a steam power plant, steam engines work in pairs, the heat output of the first one being the approximate heat input of the second. The operating temperatures of the first are 750掳C and 440掳C, and of the second 415掳C and 270掳C. If the heat of combustion of coal is \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.8 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{7}}}\;{{\bf{J}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\bf{J}} {{\bf{kg}}}}} \right.} {{\bf{kg}}}}\) at what rate must coal be burned if the plant is to put out 950 MW of power? Assume the efficiency of the engines is 65% of the ideal (Carnot) efficiency. (b) Water is used to cool the power plant. If the water temperature is allowed to increase by no more than 4.5 C掳, estimate how much water must pass through the plant per hour.

Question:(II) A nuclear power plant operates at 65% of its maximum theoretical (Carnot) efficiency between temperatures of 660掳C and 330掳C. If the plant produces electric energy at the rate of 1.4 GW, how much exhaust heat is discharged per hour?

Question:(II) A certain power plant puts out 580 MW of electric power. Estimate the heat discharged per second, assuming that the plant has an efficiency of 32%.


Question:The first law of thermodynamics is sometimes whimsically stated as, 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 get something for nothing,鈥 and the second law as, 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 even break even.鈥 Explain how these statements could be equivalent to the formal statements.

On a very hot day, could you cool your kitchen by leaving the refrigerator door open?

(a) Yes, but it would be very expensive.

(b) Yes, but only if the humidity is below 50%.

(c) No, the refrigerator would exhaust the same amount of heat into the room as it takes out of the room.

(d) No, the heat exhausted by the refrigerator into the room is more than the heat the refrigerator takes out of the room.
