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

dimulka [17.4K]

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

$W = 63000 J$

$P = \frac{63000}{3600}$

$P = 17.5 W$

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

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

$\eta _a = 0.46$

aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3. if a chuck of aluminum with a mass of 16 g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially fill

sweet-ann [11.9K]

When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3

Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3
