The maximum amount of work performed is

W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C

Explanation:

The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H} (1)

where

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:

\eta = \frac{W_{max}}{Q_H}

where

W_{max} is the maximum work done

Q_H is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

Q_H can be written as

Q_H=W_{max}+Q_C

where

Q_Cis the heat released to the cold reservoir

So the previous equation can be also written as

\eta=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q_C} (2)

By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get

1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q}

And re-arranging the equation and solving for W_{max}, we find

W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C

An instrument that measures air pressure using a partially evacuated chamber is called a(n ________ barometer.
Jet001 [13]
The appropriate response is the Aneroid barometer. This kind of gauge has an incompletely cleared chamber that progressions shape, packing as barometrical weight increments and growing as weight declines.

I hope the answer will help you.

Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves, which means that the oscillations occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, and they are the only type of waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their frequencies. From lowest to highest frequencies, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency. They are used, for examples, for satellites, telecommunication, broadcasting.
