(III) A real heat engine working between heat reservoirs at 970 K and 650 K produces 550 J of work per cycle for a heat input of 2500 J.

(a) Compare the efficiency of this real engine to that of an ideal (Carnot) engine.

(b) Calculate the total entropy change of the universe per cycle of the real engine, and

(c) also if the engine is ideal (Carnot).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) \(68\% \) (b) \(0.43\;{\rm{J/K}}\) and (c) \(0\)

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The lower temperature of reservoir is\({T_{\rm{L}}} = 650\;{\rm{K}}\).

The higher temperature of reservoir is\({T_{\rm{H}}} = 970\;{\rm{K}}\).

The work is\(W = 550\;{\rm{J}}\).

The heat input is \(Q = 2500\;{\rm{J}}\).

02

Understanding the efficiency of real engine

In this problem, the efficiency of the real engine can be evaluated using the fraction between the work done by the engine and heat input.

03

Comparison between the real engine and Carnot engine efficiency  

The relation of real engine efficiency is

\(\begin{array}{l}\eta = \frac{W}{Q}\\\eta = \left( {\frac{{550\;{\rm{J}}}}{{2500\;{\rm{J}}}}} \right)\\\eta = 0.22.\end{array}\)

The relation of ideal engine efficiency is

\(\begin{array}{l}{\eta _{\rm{C}}} = 1 - \frac{{{T_{\rm{L}}}}}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}\\{\eta _{\rm{C}}} = 1 - \left( {\frac{{650\;{\rm{K}}}}{{970\;{\rm{K}}}}} \right)\\{\eta _{\rm{C}}} = 0.32.\end{array}\)

The comparison between efficiency is

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\eta }{{{\eta _{\rm{C}}}}} = \frac{{0.22}}{{0.32}}\\\frac{\eta }{{{\eta _{\rm{C}}}}} = 0.68 \times 100\% \\\frac{\eta }{{{\eta _{\rm{C}}}}} = 68\% .\end{array}\)

Thus, the actual efficiency is \(68\% \) of ideal efficiency.

04

Calculation of entropy change in the real engine

The relation of total entropy change is given below:

\(\begin{array}{l}\Delta S = \Delta {S_{\rm{i}}} + \Delta {S_{\rm{0}}}\\\Delta S = - \left( {\frac{Q}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{Q'}}{{{T_{\rm{L}}}}}} \right)\\\Delta S = - \left( {\frac{Q}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{Q - W}}{{{T_{\rm{L}}}}}} \right)\end{array}\)

Here,\(\Delta {S_{\rm{i}}}\)and\(\Delta {S_{\rm{0}}}\)are the entropies at input and output, and\(Q'\)is the heat loss from the reservoir.

Put the values in the above relation.

\(\begin{array}{l}\Delta S = - \left( {\frac{{2500\;{\rm{J}}}}{{970\;{\rm{K}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{2500\;{\rm{J}} - 550\;{\rm{J}}}}{{650\;{\rm{K}}}}} \right)\\\Delta S = 0.43\;{\rm{J/K}}\end{array}\)

Thus, \(\Delta S = 0.43\;{\rm{J/K}}\) is the required change in entropy.

05

Calculation of entropy change in the ideal engine

The relation of total entropy change is shown below:

\(\begin{array}{l}\Delta S = \Delta {S_{\rm{i}}} + \Delta {S_{\rm{0}}}\\\Delta S = - \left( {\frac{Q}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{Q'}}{{{T_{\rm{L}}}}}} \right)\end{array}\)

Here,\(Q'\)is the heat loss from the reservoir in the ideal engine whose value is\(Q' = \left( {\frac{{Q{T_{\rm{L}}}}}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right)\).

Put the values in the above relation.

\(\begin{array}{l}\Delta S = - \left( {\frac{Q}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{\left( {\frac{{Q{T_{\rm{L}}}}}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right)}}{{{T_{\rm{L}}}}}} \right)\\\Delta S = - \left( {\frac{Q}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{Q}{{{T_{\rm{H}}}}}} \right)\\\Delta S = 0\end{array}\)

Thus, \(\Delta S = 0\) is the required change in entropy.

(II) Sketch a PV diagram of the following process: 2.5 L of ideal gas at atmospheric pressure is cooled at constant pressure to a volume of 1.0 L, and then expanded isothermally back to 2.5 L, whereupon the pressure is increased at constant volume until the original pressure is reached.
