Get started for freeA refrigerator using helium gas operates on the reversed cycle shown in FIGURE. What are the refrigerator’s () coefficient of performance and () power input if it operates at cycles per second?
A heat engine with of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills acylinder at . The gas goes through the following closed cycle:
Isothermal expansion to .
Isochoric cooling to .
Isothermal compression to .
Isochoric heating to .
How much work does this engine do per cycle and what is its thermal efficiency?
A car’s internal combustion engine can be modeled as a heat engine operating between a combustion temperature of 1500oC and an air temperature of 20oC with 30% of the Carnot efficiency. The heat of combustion of gasoline is 47kJ/g. What mass of gasoline is burned to accelerate a 1500kgcar from rest to a speed of 30 m/s?
A heat engine using a diatomic ideal gas goes through the following closed cycle:
Isochoric cooling until the pressure is restored to its initial value. What are the thermal efficiencies of () this heat engine and
() a Carnot engine operating between the highest and lowest temperatures reached by this engine?
FIGURE P21.35 shows a heat engine going through one cycle. The gas is diatomic. The masses are such that when the pin is removed, in steps and , the piston does not move.
