Question

a certain ideal heat engine uses water at the triple point as the hot source of an organic liquid as the cold sink. it withdraws 2.71kJ of heat from the hot source and generates 0.71kJ of work. what is the temperature of the organic liquid? a certain ideal heat engine uses water at the triple point as the hot source of an organic liquid as the cold sink. it withdraws 2.71kJ of heat from the hot source and generates 0.71kJ of work. what is the temperature of the organic liquid? a certain ideal heat engine uses water at the triple point as the hot source of an organic liquid as the cold sink. it withdraws 2.71kJ of heat from the hot source and generates 0.71kJ of work. what is the temperature of the organic liquid?

Explanation / Answer

Triple point of water = 273.16 K

efficiency = work done /heat supplied = 1 - Tc / Th

= 0.71 / 2.71 = 1 - Tc / 273.16

Tc = 201.6 K

so temperature of the organic liquid is 201.6 K
