Efficiency of reversible engine is maximum. Why?
A heat engine with 100% efficiency is only a theoretical possibility. Explain.
In 1816, Robert Stirling, a Scottish minister, patented an engine now known as the Stirling engine. The Stirling engine follows a four-process cycle: two isothermal processes and two constant-volume processes as shown in Figure P22.22. The working substance used in the Stirling engine never leaves the engine. There are no exhaust valves and no internal combustion; instead, the Stirling engine uses an external hot reservoir. Thus, the Stirling engine is very quiet and is used in applications where a quiet engine is important, such as on submarines. Today, the engine is being developed for a wider range of applications. FIGURE P22.22 a. Use Figure P22.22 to estimate the work done by a Stirling engine in one cycle. b. If the engine delivers 500 hp, how many cycles does it make per second? c. If the engine has an efficiency of 20%, how much input power does the engine require?
T=33°C Question of the Day Consider a person who emits 100W of heat in a house. The temperature outside is on average 33°C. He turns on the AC to keep the indoor temperature at Tc = 23°C for 8 hours a day. Question: 100W T (a) If the AC is running a Carnot cycle, find the COP of the AC operates at (i) T = 23°C; and (ii) TC = 25°C (b) Estimate how much energy in percentage he can save per day if he sets the indoor temperature to 25°C instead. Energy saved in % = Energy spent at 23°C – Energy spent at 25°C Energy spent at 23°C Hints: 1. The answer actually depends on how efficient the AC device is, but we can assume the AC is the most efficient AC which runs in Carnot Cycle. 2. Assume that electricity power convert 100% to power in the compressor of the AC.
