To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal transfer given by the thermodynamic definition of heat as a function of mass, specific heat and temperature change.

Mathematically this is equivalent to

Q = mC_p \Delta T

Where

m = mass

C_p = Specific Heat

\Delta T = Change at temperature

In mass terms (KJ / g) this can be expressed as

\frac{Q}{g} = \frac{C_p \Delta T}{m_{grams}}

Our values are given as

\Delta T = 29.8-25.25 = 4.55\°C

C_p = 31.71kJ/\°C

Replacing,

\frac{Q}{m} = \frac{(31.71kJ/\°C) (4.55\°C)}{2.599g}

\frac{Q}{m} =55.51kJ/g

Therefore the heat of combustion per gram on the material is 55.51KJ/g

SashulF [63]

Answer:

275 Kelvin

Explanation:

Coefficient of Performance=11

T_H=\text {Absolute Temperature of high temperature reservoir=300 K}

T_L=\text {Absolute Temperature of low temperature reservoir}

\text {Coefficient of performance for carnot cooler}\\=\frac {T_L}{T_H-T_L}\\\Rightarrow 11=\frac{T_L}{300-T_L}\\\Rightarrow 11(300-T_L)=T_L\\\Rightarrow 3300-11T_L=T_L\\\Rightarrow 3300=T_L+11T_L\\\Rightarrow 3300=12T_L\\\Rightarrow T_L=\frac {3300}{12}\\\Rightarrow T_L=275\ K\\\Therefore \text{Temperature at which the refrigerator absorbs heat=275 Kelvin}

The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200K and 400K, re
Anni [7]

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 %  , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 %     , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 %  , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

  TL = 400 K

  TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

(c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

                                 W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

                                 n_th < n_max     ...... irreversible

                                 n_th = n_max     ...... reversible

                                 n_th > n_max     ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

                                n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And,                         n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 33.333 %                n_max = 66.67 %

                                       n_th < n_max  

      Hence,                Irreversible Process  

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

                 n_th = 100 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th > n_max  

      Hence,               Impossible Process              

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 66.67 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th = n_max  

      Hence,                Reversible Process
