a.

The heat the engine <em>extracts </em>from its heat source in each cycle is 3.79 × 10⁴ J

The efficiency of the Carnot engine, ε = W/Q where W = work done per cycle = 2.5 × 10⁴ J and Q = heat extracted in each cycle.

Making Q subject of the formula, we have

Q = W/ε

Since ε = 66% = 0.66, we substitute the values of the variables into the equation for Q.

So, Q = W/ε

Q = 2.5 × 10⁴ J/0.66

Q = 3.79 × 10⁴ J

So, the heat the engine <em>extracts </em>from its heat source in each cycle is 3.79 × 10⁴ J

b.

The temperature of its heat source is 588.76 °C

Also, the efficiency of the Carnot engine, ε = 1 - T/T' where T = temperature of exhaust heat = 20° C = 273 + 20 = 293 K and T' = temperature of heat source.

Making T' subject of the formula, we have

T' = T/(1 - ε)

Since ε = 66 % = 0.66

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T' = T/(1 - ε)

T' = 293 K/(1 - 0.66)

T = 293 K/0.34

T = 861.76 K

We convert this to Celsius.

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = T(K) - 273

T(°C) = 861.76 - 273

T(°C) = 588.76 °C

So, the temperature of its heat source is 588.76 °C

1 kg air in a piston-cylinder assembly is heated at constant pressure, resulting the expansion of the volume. the initial temper
rewona [7]

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W =  R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n =  34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W =  (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ
