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.

Can someone pleaseeee answer this !!!!!!
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.

Explanation:

Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)

The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,

v=\sqrt{2gH}

(g = acceleration due to gravity)

which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2aS

Now, the time taken (say t ) for the momentum ( mv ) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.

We know that,

Force=\frac{\Delta(mv)}{t}

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since t is larger.

Calculate the change in entropy as 0.3071 kg of ice at 273.15 K melts. (The latent heat of fusion of water is 333000 J / kg)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

374.39 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance.

The S.I unit of entropy is J/K

ΔS = ΔH/T ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = entropy change, ΔH = Heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = cm................................... Equation 2

Where,

c = specific latent heat of fusion of water = 333000 J/kg, m = mass of ice = 0.3071 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

ΔH = 333000×0.3071

ΔH = 102264.3 J.

Also, T = 273.15 K

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = 102264.3/273.15

ΔS = 374.39 J/K

Thus, The change in entropy = 374.39 J/K
