Chapter 8.8, Problem 1P
What final state will maximize the work output of a device?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What final state will maximize the work output of a device.
Answer to Problem 1P
The dead state will maximize the work output of a device.
Explanation of Solution
There are two conditions for any device to maximize the work output.
- The process to be performed must be reversible.
- The final state of a device in system should be a dead state.
A system is called as in the dead state when the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium with respect to its surroundings as it does not react or chemically inert with its surrounding and the system remains at similar pressure and temperature. Thus, a system is said to be has zero availability at the dead state.
Hence, a system in dead state will maximize the work output of a device.
