Question

Calculate the efficiency, , of the Carnot engine and theamount of heat that is extracted from the hot reservoir to do 1.00kJ of work in the surroundings.
Thank you.
Calculate the efficiency, , of the Carnot engine and theamount of heat that is extracted from the hot reservoir to do 1.00kJ of work in the surroundings.
Thank you. Consider a reversible Carnot cycle with 1 mol of an ideal gaswith asthe working substance. The initial isothermal expansionoccurs at the hot reservoir temperature of froman initial volume of 3.50 L toa volume of 10.0 L . The system then undergoes an adiabatic expansion until thetemperature falls to   Thesystem undergoes an isothermal compression and a subsequentadiabatic compression and a subsequent adiabatic compression untilthe initial state described by and isreached.
Calculate the efficiency, , of the Carnot engine and theamount of heat that is extracted from the hot reservoir to do 1.00kJ of work in the surroundings.
Thank you.

Explanation / Answer

= 1 - Tc/Th = 1 - (150 + 273)/ (600 + 273) =0.515463918 = > 51.5 % = W / QH QH = W/ = 1 kJ/ 0.515463918 = 1.94 kJ
