Chapter 5, Problem 5.19P

A thermodynamic cycle has heat addition during an isobaric process while the temperature increases from 300 K to 450 K. Heat is rejected during an isochoric process, while the temperature decreases from 350 K to 270 K. Given that cv=0.956 kJ/kg/K and 1.244kJ/kg/K, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle assuming that all other processes in the cycle are adiabatic. State your answer as a percentage to 2 decimal places.

1. In an analysis, a heat engine based on the Carnot cycle operating between 1000 0C and 300 0C. The heat rejected from this engine to the sink was at a rate of 800 kJ/min. Determine the thermal efficiency (in %) and power output (in kW) of the engin 2.You found out that the power output of your dream car is the same as the sum of each digits of your student number (in kW) with a percentage thermal efficiency the same as the first four digit of your student number divided by 100. The calorific value of the fuel available has a calorific value of 40 000 kJ/kg. Assuming a constant power output from the car, calculate the heat transfer rate (in kW) and the fuel consumption rate (in kg/h)

A heat pump maintains a dwelling at 68°F. When operating steadily, the power input to the heat pump is 5 hp, and the heat pump receives energy by heat transfer from 55°F well water at a rate of 500 Btu/min. (a) Determine the coefficient of performance. (b) Evaluating electricity at $0.18 per kWh, determine the cost of electricity in a month when the heat pump operates for 300 hours. Part A Determine the coefficient of performance. y = i

1. Is a temperature difference necessary to operate a heat engine? State why or why not. 2. Definitions of efficiency vary depending on how energy is being converted. Compare the definitions of efficiency for the human body and heat engines. How does the definition of efficiency in each relate to the type of energy being converted into doing work? 3. Why-other than the fact that the second law of thermodynamics says reversible engines are the most efficient-should heat engines employing reversible processes be more efficient than those employing irreversible processes? Consider that dissipative mechanisms are one cause of irreversibility. 1. (a) What is the efficiency of a cyclical heat engine in which 75.0 kJ of heat transfer occurs to the environment for every 95.0 kJ of heat transfer into the engine? (b) How much work does it produce for 100 k) of heat transfer into the engine? 2. The engine of a large ship does 2.00×10°J of work with an efficiency of 5.00%. (a) How much heat…

if i found Any mistake i will dislike and Report.

Define the Energy can cross the boundaries of a closed system in the form of heat and work?

A Carnot engine produces 65,967 hp of power while operating between temperature limits of 1,235°F and 76°F. Determine the efficiency of the engine in %.

The first step of a thermodynamic cycle is an isobaric process with increasing volume. The second is an isochoric process, with decreasing pressure. The last step may be either an isothermal or adiabatic process, ending at the starting point of the isobaric process. Sketch a graph of these two possibilities, and comment on which will have greater net work per cycle.

A Carnot heat pump is used to maintain the temperature inside a building at 20 ∘C. Significantly, the colder it gets outside, the more heat is lost through the walls and windows of the building. Assume that 45 kW of heat are lost for each degree difference between the outside and the inside temperature. That means that the colder it gets, the harder the heat pump will need to work. However, for safety reasons, the controller circuit for the heat pump limits its electrical power consumption to 195 kW. What's the coldest it can get outside before the heat pump can't maintain the building temperature adequately?
