If the heat engine is a perfect carnot cycle engine, then
efficiency = (T2-T1)/T2  
where T1=temperature of cold reservoir ( ° K) = 250+273.15 = 523.15
           T2=temperature of hot reservoir ( ° K)  = 715+273.15 = 988.15

Therefore
efficiency = (T2-T1)/T2 = (988.15-523.15)/988.15 = 0.4706 = 47% 

Note: this is the theoretical maximum efficiency of a perfect heat engine.  Real-life engines do not achieve this value.

Does energy or matter ever disappear? Explain.

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics doesn't actually specify that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but instead that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed (though it can be changed from one form to another).

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m
