Answer:
b. active solar heating systems
Explanation:
A solar collector is a device that collects and/or concentrates solar radiation from the Sun. These devices are primarily used for active solar heating and allow for the heating of water for personal use.
Yes that is a balaned equation
Answer:
a) W=12166.20876 J
b) U= -12166.20876 J
Explanation:
No. of moles, n = 8.41
Change of temperature, ΔT = T1 - T2
= 395 - 279
= 116 K
For monatomic gas, γ = 5/3
γ -1 = 2 /3
Solution:
(a)
Work done,
plugging values we get

Ans:
12166.20876 J
Work done, W = + 12166.20876 J
(b)
From first law of thermodynamics, dQ = U + W
but, dQ = 0
( adiabatic process)
Hence, U = - W
= - 12166.20876 J
Ans:
Change in internal energy, U = - 12166.20876 J
(b) 71%
The thermal efficiency of a Carnot heat engine is given by:

where
W is the useful work done by the engine
is the heat in input to the machine
In this problem, we have:
is the heat absorbed
is the work done (175 kJ is the heat released to the sink, therefore the work done is equal to the difference between the heat in input and the heat released)
So, the efficiency is

(a) 
The efficiency of an engine can also be rewritten as

where
is the absolute temperature of the cold sink
is the temperature of the source
In this problem, the temperature of the sink is

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the temperature of the source:
