If a car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy, what is the maximum efficiency?

Physics

stich3 [128]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.

A container with rigid walls is filled with 4.0 mol of air with Cv=2.5R Then the temperature is increased from 17 degrees C to 3
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work

U = Q + W

Since there's no change in volume (rigid walls), W = 0.

U = Q

U = n Cᵥ ΔT

U = (4.0 mol) (2.5 × 8.314 J/mol/K) (354 C − 17 C)

U = 28,000 J
