A watt is a measure of power (the rate of energy change) equal to 1 j>s. (a) calculate the number of joules in a kilowatt- ho

ur. (b) an adult person radiates heat to the surroundings at about the same rate as a 100-watt electric incandescent light- bulb. what is the total amount of energy in kcal radiated to the surroundings by an adult in 24 h?

Before solving this, you must know the definition of these units of measurement. Watt is a measurement of power which is the amount of energy per unit time in seconds. Energy, on the other hand, is expressed through the SI unit Joules. Thus, power is the amount of energy in Joules per second.

From here, you can use the dimensional analysis technique. Also, you should know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and 24 hours is equal to 86,400 seconds. Then,

100 = Energy/86,400
Energy = 8,640,000 Joules

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
