An ideal heat-engine is to be used in an environment where the ambient temperature is 31.5 °C. What should be the minimum temperature of the hot heat reservoir in order to reach at least 36.9 percent efficiency with the heat-engine? (Give your answer in Celsius.)
Homework Answers
efficiency n = W/Q = (Qhot - Qcold)/Qhot
Q is proportional to temperatre T
percent efficiency = (Thot - Tcold)/Thot
given n = 36.9% = 0.369
Tcold = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 K
0.369 = (Thot-304.5)/Thot
Thot = 482.57 K
Thot = 482.57-273 = 209.5 0C

A newly proposed device for generating electricity from the sun is a heat engine in which the hot reservoir is created by focusing sunlight on a small spot on one side of the engine. The cold reservoir is ambient air at 20 degrees C. The designer claims that the efficiency will be 35%. What minimum hot-reservoir temperature, in degrees C, would be required to produce this efficiency?

The input heat of a Carnot engine is 3,000 J. The temperature of a hot reservoir is 600 K and that of a cold reservoir is 300 K. What is the work done? Hint: The efficiency e of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work done, W, by the engine to the input heat QH : e=W/QH. W=QH – QC, where Qc is the output heat. That is, e=1-Qc/QH =1-Tc/TH, where Tc for a temperature of...
