It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. T…

Textbook Question

Chapter 6.11, Problem 138RP

Consider two Carnot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives heat from the reservoir at 1400 K and rejects the waste heat to another reservoir at temperature T. The second engine receives this energy rejected by the first one, converts some of it to work, and rejects the rest to a reservoir at 300 K. If the thermal efficiencies of both engines are the same, determine the temperature T.

A heat engine is assumed to operate on a Carnot cycle. It receives 900kJ heat from a high temperature reservoir at 550°C and rejects heat to a low temperature reservoir at 30°C. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle. What is QH and Q? What is the net work produced by this cycle? Does this process violate Kelvin-Plank statement? Explain. An inventor claimed that he built a heat engine operating between the same reservoirs that give a thermal efficiency of 80%. Comments about his claim. a. b. C. d. е. f. Draw this process on a Ts diagram with proper labelling. If the cycle is reversed and operated as a heat pump, calculate its performance. g.

A heat engine operates on the Carnot cycle, and has a thermal efficiency of 75 percent. The waste heat from this machine is rejected to a nearby lake at 15 ° C at the rate of 14 kW. Determine the power output of the motor and the temperature of the source, in ° C.

4. A heat engine receives heat from a heat source at 1200°C and has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. The heat engine does maximum work equal to 500 kJ. Determine the heat supplied to the heat engine by the heat source, the heat rejected to the heat sink, and the temperature of the heat sink.
