In each cycle, a heat engine performs 710 J of work and exhausts 1480 J of heat. What is the thermal effiency?

Physics

Tomtit [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

For a heat engine, efficiency is work out divided by heat in:

η = Wₒ / Qᵢ

Since energy is balanced, heat in is the sum of work out and heat out:

Qᵢ = Wₒ + Qₒ

Therefore:

η = Wₒ / (Wₒ + Qₒ)

Given Wₒ = 710 J and Qₒ = 1480 J:

η = 710 / (710 + 1480)

η = 0.32

The thermal efficiency is 32%.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The kinetic energy K of the moving charge is K = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Explanation:

The potential energy due to two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance d from each other is given by U = kq₁q₂/r.

Now, for the two charges q₁ = q₂ = Q separated by a distance d, the initial potential energy is U₁ = kQ²/d. The initial kinetic energy of the system K₁ = 0 since there is no motion of the charges initially. When the moving charge is at a distance of r = 3d, the potential energy of the system is U₂ = kQ²/3d and the kinetic energy is K₂.

From the law of conservation of energy, U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂

So, kQ²/d + 0 = kQ²/3d + K

K₂ = kQ²/d - kQ²/3d = 2kQ²/3d

So, the kinetic energy K₂ of the moving charge is K₂ = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd
