A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

the entropy change of all the components of this engine and determine if it is completely reversible. How much total work does it produce?

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}

According to the data given we have to,

Q_{source} = 200000Btu

T_{source} = 1500R

Q_{sink} = 100000Btu

T_{sink} = 600R

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}

\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}

\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R

On the other hand,

\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}

\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}

\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R

The total change of entropy would be,

S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}

S = -133.33+166.67

S = 33.34Btu/R

Since S\neq   0 the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}

W = 200000-100000

W = 100000 Btu

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu

The two equal strong kids are having a tug a war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation
borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?
matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.  

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be f_{1}

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg =  f_{1}

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = f_{2}

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = f_{2}

Mg > mg

so, f_{2} > f_{1}

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

Using Newton's third law of motion, explain what happens when you let an untied balloon go.
mash [69]

Answer:

balloon pushes you back

Explanation:

3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

So, when you let go of the balloon it's pushed forward so the balloon pushes you back
