The temperature of the heater of the ideal heat engine is 117 degrees, and the temperature of the refrigerator is 27
The temperature of the heater of the ideal heat engine is 117 degrees, and the temperature of the refrigerator is 27 degrees. The machine receives from the heater in 1 s the amount of heat equal to 200 J. Determine the efficiency of the machine, the amount of heat given to the refrigerator in 1 s, the work done by the machine in 1 s.
Initial data: Тн (machine heater temperature) = 117 ºС (390 К); Тх (refrigerator temperature) = 27 ºС (300 К); Qн (heat from the heater in 1 second) = 200 J.
1) Efficiency of the machine: η = 1 – Тх / Тн = 1 – 300/390 = 0.231 (23.1%).
2) Heat given to the refrigerator of the machine: Qх = Qн * (1 – η) = 200 * (1 – 0.231) = 153.8 J.
3) Machine operation in 1 second: A = (Qн – Qх) / t = (200 – 153.8) / 1 = 46.2 J.
Answer: The efficiency of the machine is 23.1%; the refrigerator will receive 153.8 J of heat; the machine will perform a work of 46.2 J.
