Why the efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100%​

Physics

Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.

Explanation:

The efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100% most of the times because of waste energy in form of heat.

  • Different forms of heating occurs during the working of an engine
  • As the mechanical workings of the engine sets in motion, heat is generated.
  • One of the most common type of the heat is the frictional heating.
  • Therefore, as energy is transformed from one form to another, some are lost as heat.
  • In this regard, the efficiency of the engine suffers.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

the magnetic field can be used to make electricity

Explanation:

Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy

A body travels the first half of the total distance with velocity v and second half with v2 calculate avg velocity
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

Explanation:

The body travels the first half of the distance with velocity v₁.  The time it takes is:

t₁ = (d/2) / v₁

t₁ = d / (2v₁)

Similarly, the body travels the second half with velocity v₂, so the time is:

t₂ = (d/2) / v₂

t₂ = d / (2v₂)

The average velocity is the total displacement over total time:

v = d / t

v = d / (t₁ + t₂)

v = d / (d / (2v₁) + d / (2v₂))

v = d / (d/2 (1/v₁ + 1/v₂))

v = 2 / (1/v₁ + 1/v₂)

v = 2 / ((v₁ + v₂) / (v₁ v₂))

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)
