Suppose that 300.0 J of heat is transferred by
conduction from a heat reservoir at a temperature of 415.0
K to another reservoir. Calculate the entropy change if
the temperature of the second reservoir is 100.0 K
Consider three engines that each use 2160 J of heat from a hot
reservoir (temperature = 540 K). These three engines reject heat to
a cold reservoir (temperature = 335 K). Engine I rejects 1497 J of
heat. Engine II rejects 655 J of heat. Engine III rejects 1340 J of
heat. One of the engines operates reversibly, and two operate
irreversibly. However, of the two irreversible engines, one
violates the second law of thermodynamics and could not exist. For...
Consider three engines that each use 1695 J of heat from a hot
reservoir (temperature = 565 K). These three engines reject heat to
a cold reservoir (temperature = 325 K). Engine I rejects 975 J of
heat. Engine II rejects 655 J of heat. Engine III rejects 1108 J of
heat. One of the engines operates reversibly, and two operate

A particular power plant operates with a heat-source reservoir
at 350°C and a heat-sink reservoir at 30°C. It has a thermal
efficiency equal to 67% of the Carnot-engine thermal efficiency for
the same temperatures.
What is the thermal efficiency of the plant?
The thermal efficiency of the plant is .
Suppose heat is transferred at a rate of 500 W into 1 L of
water. The water starts at 20˚C.
a) How much heat is required to raise the water temperature to
100 ˚C? How long does this take?
b) How much heat is required to boil off half the water? How
long does this take? Comment on the value compared to part a.
c) Plot temperature vs Q for this heating process. You should
only need 3 points for...
14) Suppose a low-boiling liquid like ammonia is placed in a
heat reservoir and part of the energy of the surroundings is used
to vaporize the liquid.The adiabatically expanding gas does work by
driving a piston and during the expansion the gas cools until it
condenses to a liquid, the liquid is once again vaporized using
energy available from the surroundings, and the cycle is repeated.
Can such an engine be made operational?
A heat engine operates between a high-temperature reservoir at
610 K and a low-temperature reservoir at 320 K. In one cycle, the
engine absorbs 6800 J of heat from the high-temperature reservoir
and does 2200 J of work.
A) What is the net change in entropy as a result of this
cycle?
