(a) How much work is done? (b) How much waste heat is produced by the station? (c) What is the ratio of waste heat to work output? waste heat work outputarrow_forward
- 27 J of heat energy is transferred into an ideal gas and 46 J of work is done on the gas. What is the change in thermal energy, in Joules? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forward600 J of work is done on a system in a process that decreases the thermal energy of the system by 300 J . How much heat energy is transferred to or from the system as heat? Enter positive value if the energy is transferred to the system and negative if the energy is transferred from the system. Express your answer in joules.arrow_forwardmmh One ounce of a well-known breakfast cereal contains 110 Calories (1 food Calorie = 4186 J). If 2.0% of this energy could be converted by a weight lifter's body into work done in lifting a barbell, *53. what is the heaviest barbell that could be lifted a distance of 2.1 m?arrow_forward
- The heat supplied is 500 J. The heat loss to the environment is 160 J. Step 2 Calculation: Write the expression for the work output from the heat engine. W=Q1-Q2 Here, W is the useful workout, Q1 is the supplied heat, and Q2 is the heat loss. Substitute, all known values in the above expression. W=400 J-160 J=240 J Thus, the useful work is 240 J. What is the efficiency of the heat engine in the preceding problem at top? a) 32% b) 54% c) 68%. d) 75% e) 175%arrow_forwardA heat engine receives 500 j of heat from its combustion process and loses 391 J through the exhaust and friction. What is it’s efficiency?arrow_forwardplease answer the following As a gasoline engine is running, an amount of gasoline containing 12,000 J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 4,000 J of work. What is the engine's efficiency (in percent)? The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 4,300°F (2,600 K). The waste heat from the engine flows into air at about 88°F (304 K). What is the Carnot efficiency (in percent) of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures?arrow_forward
- A series of thermodynamic processes is shown in the pV-Diagram (see figure on the side). In process ab, 150J of heat are added to the system, and in process bd, 600 J of heat are added. Find a) internal energy change in process ab; b) the internal energy change in process abd; and c) the total heat added in process acd.arrow_forwardA closed system undergoes a process during which 600 kJ of heat is added to the system and the stored energy increases by 1800 kJ. Calculate the work done.arrow_forwardA large electrical power station generates 1050 MW of electricity with an efficiency of 37.0%. (a) Calculate the heat transfer (in J) to the power station, Q, in one day. (b) How much heat transfer Q. (in J) occurs to the environment in one day? (c) If the heat transfer in the cooling towers is from 35.0°C water into the local air mass, which increases in temperature from 18.0°C to 20.0°C, what is the total increase in entropy (in J/K) due to this heat transfer? J/K (d) How much energy (in J) becomes unavailable to do work because of this increase in entropy, assuming an 18.0°C lowest temperature? (Part of Q. could be utilized to operate heat engines or for simple space heating, but it rarely is.) to Additional Materials O Reading CS Scanned with CamScannerarrow_forward
