A heat engine operates at a temperature of 650 K. The work
output is used to drive a pile driver, which is
a machine that picks things up and drops them. Heat is then
exhausted into the atmosphere, which has a
temperature of 300 K.
a. What is the ideal efficiency of this engine?
b. The engine drives a 1200 kg weight by lifting it 50 m in 2:5
sec. What is the engine’s power output?
c. If the engine is operating at 50% of ideal efficiency, how much
power is being consumed?
d. How much power is exhausted?
e. The fuel the engine uses is rated at 2:710^6 J/kg. How many kg
of fuel are used in one hour?
This question is based on concept of
1. Ideal efficiency
2. Work done
3. Fuel consumption
Detailed solution is described below

A car engine whose output power is 145 hp operates at about 16 % efficiency. Assume the engine's water temperature of 79 ∘C is its cold-temperature (exhaust) reservoir and 495 ∘C is its thermal "intake" temperature (the temperature of the exploding gas-air mixture). What is the ratio of its efficiency relative to its maximum possible (Carnot) efficiency? Estimate how much power (in watts) goes into moving the car. How much heat, in joules and in kcal, is exhausted to the...
