- An inventor proposes to make a heat engine using water/ice as the working substance, taking advantage of the fact that water expands as it freezes. A weight to be lifted is placed on top of a piston over a cylinder of water at 1°C. The system is then placed in thermal contact with a low-temperature reservoir at -1°C until the water freezes into ice, lifting the weight. The weight is then removed and the ice is melted by putting it in contact with a high-temperature reservoir at 1°C. The inventor is pleased with this device because it can seemingly perform an unlimited amount of work while absorbing only a finite amount of heat. Explain the flaw in the inventor's reasoning, and use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to prove that the maximum efficiency of this engine is still given by the Carnot formula, 1 -Tc/Th.arrow_forwardA 50-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a well-sealed 75-m3 room. Both the air in the room and the oil in the radiator are initially at the environment temperature of 6°C. Electricity with a rating of 2.4 kW is now turned on. Heat is also lost from the room at an average rate of 0.75 kW. The heater is turned off after some time when the temperatures of the room air and oil are measured to be 20°C and 60°C, respectively. Taking the density and the specific heat of oil to be 950 kg/m3 and 2.2 kJ/kg⋅°C, determine the exergy destruction.arrow_forwardA 50-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a well-sealed 75-m3 room.
