Show that, for a Carnot engine operating between reservoirs at
temperatures T1 and T2 (T1 > T2), the thermal efficiency is
given by
Eta sub R = T1-T2/T1
A Carnot heat engine operates between two thermal
reservoirs ( T1 > T2 ) to generate as much power as required as
to drive a machine ( input power requirement of 30 kW ) plus to
drive an ideal heat pump working between 2 temperature limits ( T3
and T4 ) ( T3 > T4 ) . The pump takes 17 kW of heat from the low
temperature reservoir where T1 = 1200K, T2= T3 =335 K, T4 = 278...
Efficiency of an engine operating condition to Carnot cycle is
equal to ? = 0.45. Temperature and specific volume of the gaseous
working medium at the beginning of isentropic compression are T1 =
600 K and v1 = 0.5 m3/Kg respectively. Find the gas
properties at all other characteristic points of the cycle and the
amount of heat released during isothermal compression. Assume that
the mass of 1Kg of the gas undergoes the sequence of processes
corresponding to Carnot cycle....
Prove that gravitational interaction between two spherically
symmetric mass distributions is the same as though all mass of each
were concentrated at its center.
Air within a piston cylinder assembly executes a Carnot
refrigeration cycle between hot and cold reservoirs at TH=500 K and
TC=300 K, respectively. The magnitude of the heat transfer rejected
to the high temperature reservoir is 250 kJ per kg of air. The
pressure at the start of the isothermal expansion is 325 kPa. The
air can be modeled as an ideal gas with constant specific
heat.
For the air as a system, determine
a. (5) the coefficient of performance....
(a) Construct the P-V graph for the Carnot cycle operating
between 700 and 200 oC if isothermal expansion of water
vapor occurs between 1 and 8 L/mol. Determine the relevant
quantities of heat, work, energy and entropy. Compare the results
obtained using the IGL and the NIST database.
