2. Understand how much work and heat are transferred in an ideal heat engine or reverse heat engine.
a) What is the maximum work that I can get from a heat source at 450K and a cold sink at 298K? (0.338 J per joule of heat in at 450 K)
b) How much heat can I get from ideal reverse heat engine per Joule of energy of work if the outside temperature is 10oC and my house is at 25oC? (approx. 20 J)
Solutions
Expert Solution
a)
For ideal heat engine
the efficiency is giveen by
efficiency is nothing but net work done per joule of heat supplied
Hence the maximum amount of heat that can be done is 0.338 Joules of work per Joule of heat supplied
b) Here for reverse heat enginer we don't have efficiency term but rather COP term
COP is given by
.
Hence reverse heat engine will extract 20 Joule of heat per Jule of work done to the system

The compression ratio is 8 in an engine working with the ideal Otto cycle. The heat transfer to the engine takes place from a heat source at a temperature of 1000 ° C and the heat transfer from the engine to the outside takes place in the environment of 20 ° C and 100 kPa. At the start of the isentropic compression process, the temperature is 50 ⁰C and the pressure is 110 kPa. The temperature at the end of...

A heat engine made with an ideal gas with f = 5 degrees of
freedom has 3 steps. Starting with a volume of 8 liters and a
pressure of 1.3 × 10^5 Pa, the gas is compressed adiabatically to a
volume of 1 liter and a pressure P2. Next the gas expands at
constant pressure back to 8 liters, then the pressure drops at
constant volume back to 1.3×10^5 Pa. Draw the cycle in a P −V
diagram. Calculate the...
