A piston cylinder assembly fitted with a slowly rotating paddle wheel contains 0.13 kg of air at 300K. The air undergoes a const
ant pressure process to a final temp of 400K. During the process heat is transfered to the air by Q=12kJ. Assuming the ideal gas model with k=1.4 and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy for the air, determine the work done by the paddle on the air and the work done by the air to displace the piston. Gas constant for air is 0.287 kJ/kg*K
note ideal gas model is pV=mRT, and with k=1.4 the total internal energy change of air canbe calculated by U2-U1=(mR/k-1)(delta T)

Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Given Data
Temprature of source=750°c=1023k
Temprature of sink =0°c=273k
Work produced=3.3KW
Heat Rejected=4.4KW
Efficiency of heat engine(η)=
and
Heat Supplied
η=
η=42.85%
Also the maximum efficiency of a heat engine operating between two different Tempratures i.e. Source & Sink
η=1-
η=1-
η=73.31%
Therefore our Engine Efficiency is less than the maximum efficiency hence the given claim is valid.
