Answer:

The minimum work per unit heat transfer will be 0.15.

Explanation:

We know the for a heat pump the coefficient of performance (C_{HP}) is given by

C_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}}

where, Q_{H} is the magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and    high-temperature medium at temperature T_{H} and W_{in} is the required input and is given by W_{in} = Q_{H} - Q_{L}, Q_{L} being magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and low-temperature T_{L}. Therefore, from above equation we can write,

&& \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{Q_{H} - Q_{L}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}}} = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{T_{L}}{T_{H}}}

Given, T_{L} = 460 K and T_{H} = 540 K. So,  the minimum work per unit heat transfer is given by

\dfrac{W_{in}}{Q_{H}} = \dfrac{T_{H} - T_{L}}{T_{H}} = \dfrac{540 - 460}{540} = 0.15

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
drek231 [11]
Nearly equal the output work is greater than the input work because of friction.All machines use some amount of input work to overcome friction.The only way to increase the work output is to increase the work you put into the machine.You cannot get more work out of a machine than you put into it.

Where are the magnetic<br> fields<br> strongest near a bar magnet?
mixer [17]
<h2>ANSWER:</h2>
  • <u>The north pole</u>

  • The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.

REMARKS The speed found in part (a) is the same as if the woman fell vertically through a distance of 21.9 m. The result of part
sasho [114]

Answer:

Yes, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.

Explanation:

The result that you are showing is the conservation of mechanical energy between two points in the upper one, the energy is only potential and the lower one is only kinetic.

In the case of some type of friction, the change in energy between the same points is equal to the work of the friction forces

    W_{fr} = ΔEm

    W_{fr} = Em_{f} -Em₀

As we can see now there is another quantity and for which the final energy is lower and therefore the final speed would be less than what you found in the case without friction.

    Em_{f} =W_{fr} + Em₀

 

Remember that the work of the rubbing force is negative, let's write the work of the rubbing force explicitly, to make it clearer

    ½ m v² = -fr d + mgh

    v = √(-fr d 2/m + 2 gh)

    v = √ (2gh - 2fr d/m)

Now it is clear that there is a decrease in the final body speed.

Consequently, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.
