1. What is pressure? And what things can change it?

2. What is efficiency? What is waste heat?

Solutions

Expert Solution

1).

Pressure is force exerted on a surface per unit area. The standard unit of pressure is the pascal.

Pressure=Force/Area

Unit: is N/m^2

Examples: Pressure can change the volume or it can change boiling point

2).

The percentage of energy used in the useful work

The percentage of input to a engine or machine that is consumed in useful work and not wasted.

where is efficiency

Q1 is heat absorbed

Q2 is heat dumped to the sink

Unit: Dimensionless

The remaining energy, the energy which dumped to the sink is called waste heat.i.e which is not useful in the work.
