Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.

Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$V_2 = 0.125 m^3$

Work done = = 5 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

volume of nitrogen $v_1 = 0.08 m^3$

$P_1 = 150 kPa$

$T_1 = 200 degree celcius = 473 Kelvin$

$P_2 = 80 kPa$

Polytropic exponent n = 1.4

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = [\frac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{n-1}{n}$

putting all value

$\frac{T_2}{473} = [\frac{80}{150}]^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}$

$\frac{T_2} = 395.23 K = 122.08 DEGREE \ CELCIUS$

polytropic process is given as

$P_1 V_1^n = P_2 V_2^n$

$150\times 0.08^{1.4} = 80 \times V_2^{1.4}$

$V_2 = 0.125 m^3$

work done $= \frac{P_1 V_1 -P_2 V_2}{n-1}$

$= \frac{150 \times 0.8 - 80 \times 0.125}{1.4-1}$

= 5 kJ
