100mLof water at 15°Cis placed in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator with a coefficient of performance of 4.0. How much heat energy is exhausted into the room as the water is changed to ice at -15°C?

Short Answer

Expert verified

As a result, the heat emitted into the room is=5.3×104J.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:The heat energy of the certain mass

The heat energy of a specific mass with a specific heat capacity that is subjected to a temperature difference is given as:

Q=mcΔT

Where m is the body's mass and C is its specific heat capacity and ΔTis the temperature difference.

02

The heat energy removed from the water

The mass of the water sample is :

m=100×103L103m31L1000kgm3

=0.100kg

The heat energy extracted from water is known as:

Q=(0.100kg)(4186J/kgK)(15K)+(0.100kg)3.33×105J/kg

+(0.100kg)(2090J/kgK)(15K)

=42714J

The performance metric is:

K=QCWin

As a result, the work input is

Wia=42714J4,0

The heat that is emitted into the room is:

Qu=Qc+Win

=42714J+10679J

=5.3×104J

As a result, the amount of heat emitted into the room is reduced 5.3×104J.

A heat engine using a diatomic ideal gas goes through the following closed cycle:

  • Isothermal compression until the volume is halved.
  • Isobaric expansion until the volume is restored to its initial value.

Isochoric cooling until the pressure is restored to its initial value. What are the thermal efficiencies of (a) this heat engine and

(b) a Carnot engine operating between the highest and lowest temperatures reached by this engine?

What are (a) WoutandQHand (b) the thermal efficiency for the heat engine shown in FIGUREEX21.14?

Engineers testing the efficiency of an electric generator gradually vary the temperature of the hot steam used to power it while leaving the temperature of the cooling water at a constant 20°C. They find that the generator’s efficiency increases at a rate 3.5×10-4K-1at steam temperatures near 300°C. What is the ratio of the generator’s efficiency to the efficiency of a Carnot engine?

A heat engine with 50%of the Carnot efficiency operates between reservoirs at 20°Cand 200°C. The engine inputs heat energy at an average rate of 63Wwhile compressing a spring 22cm in 0.50s. What is the spring constant?

The FIGURE shows the Diesel cycle. It is similar to the Otto cycle (see Problem), but there are two important differences. First, the fuel is not admitted until the air is fully compressed at point 2. Because of the high temperature at the end of adiabatic compression, the fuel begins to burn spontaneously. (There are no spark plugs in a diesel engine!) Second, combustion takes place more slowly, with fuel continuing to be injected. This makes the ignition stage a constant-pressure process. The cycle shown, for one cylinder of a diesel engine, has a displacement localid="1650278379201" Vmax-Vminof localid="1650278390412" 1000cm3and a compression ratio localid="1650278397535" r=Vmax/Vmin=21These are typical values for a diesel truck. The engine operates with intake air localid="1650278425123" (γ=1.40)at localid="1650278430754" 25°Cand localid="1650278435051" 1.0atmpressure. The quantity of fuel injected into the cylinder has a heat of combustion of localid="1650278440305" 1000J.

a. Find p, V, and Tat each of the four corners of the cycle. Display your results in a table.

b. What is the network done by the cylinder during one full cycle?

c. What is the thermal efficiency of this engine?

d. What is the power output in kW and horsepower (1hp=746W)of an eight-cylinder diesel engine running at 2400rpm?
