An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper

ature of 322 K. Over the course of one hour, the engine absorbs 1.37 x 105 J from the hot reservoir and exhausts 7.4 x 104 J into the cold reservoir.
1) What is the power output of this engine?

2) What is the maximum (Carnot) efficiency of a heat engine running between these two reservoirs?

3) What is the actual efficiency of this engine?

Answer:

The power output of this engine is  P =  17.5 W

The  the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is  \eta_c  = 0.7424

The  actual efficiency of this engine is  \eta _a  = 0.46

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The temperature of the hot reservoir is  T_h = 1250 \ K

      The temperature of the cold reservoir  is  T_c  =  322 \ K

     The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is E_h  = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J

       The energy exhausts into  cold reservoir is  E_c  = 7.4 *10^{4} J

The power output is mathematically represented as

      P  =  \frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour =  3600 s  

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

      W =  E_h  -E_c

substituting values

       W = 63000 J

So

    P =  \frac{63000}{3600}

    P =  17.5 W

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

          \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}

         \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{322}{1250}

         \eta_c  = 0.7424

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

        \eta _a  =   \frac{W}{E_h}

substituting values

         \eta _a  =  \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}

         \eta _a  = 0.46

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, what was its speed at the top of its path?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

0m/s

Explanation:

Since its fired at an angle, at the top there will be a split second where the velocity will be 0, as it has a parabolic shape, so the speed at the top of its path is 0

A 4.2-m-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.80 rad????s. Its total moment of inertia is 136
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

A) 0.44 rad/s

B) 3.091 rad/s

Explanation:

Initial angular momentum must be equal to final angular momentum.

W1 = 0.80 rad/s

I = 1360 kgm^2

Initial moment Iw = 0.8 x 1360 = 1088 rad-kg-m^2/s

For second case

I = (65 x 4)4.2 + 1360 = 2452 kg-m2-rad/s

New momentum = 2452 x W2

Where w2 = final angular momentum

= 2452W2

Equating both moment,

1088 = 2452W2

W2 = 0.44 rad/s0

If they were on it before,

Initial momentum

I = 1360 - (60 x 4)4.2

= 352 rad-kg-m^2/s

352W1 = 1088

W1 = 3.091 rad/s
