A Carnot heat engine has an ideal efficiency of 34% and produces 25 kW of output power. At what rate (MJ/h) must it discharge heat when operating at full power?

Expert Solution

In this problem, first Calculate the heat input rate to the heat engine from the Carnot ideal efficiency formula and then Calculate the heat discharge from heat engine by subtracting output power from heat addition rate and change its unit from kW to MJ/h as below:-

A Carnot heat engine receives heat at 850 K and rejects the waste heat to the environment at 298 K. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot refrigerator that removes heat from the cooled space at -17⁰C at a rate of 450 kJ/min and rejects it to the same environment at 298 K. Determine; (a) the rate of heat supplied to the heat engine and (b) the total rate of heat rejection to...

Professor Modyn wants to power his refrigerator with a heat engine. A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 493.0°C at a rate of 767 kJ/min and rejects heat to the ambient air at 29.1°C. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -3.23°C and transfers it to the same ambient air at 29.1°C. Note: The IUPAC sign conversion for work is used. Work...
