Question

Work-producing devices that operate on reversible processes deliver the most work, and work-consuming devices that operate on reversible processes consume the least work. a)- True b)- False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

Yes, it is true that work producing device that can operate on reversible process deliver the most work as, the process must be quasi equilibrium to be reversible and work consuming device that operate on reversible process consume the least work as, energy released by the reversible process can do maximum amount of work as, less energy lost as heat and energy loss is very less in reversible energy and less work require to operate as consuming device.
