Hi

Can please give me the idea for solving this quetion

A Carnot engine operates between reservoirs at 20 and 200°C. If 10 kW of power is produced, the rejected heat rate is nearest

What have yo done so far?

 

You already know the equations from your previous thread on this subject. Can you not rearrange them to to solve this one?

T

teacher said the answer will be kj per second

How is that ..

 

I will try

 

n = 1 - tmin / tmax

So 1 - 293/473

= 0.38

 

THen power = work divide time

What should I do next ??

"If 10 kW of power is produced, the rejected heat rate is nearest" ... is an incomplete sentence. Nearest to what?

to the answer may be or approximately....

 

any way you find the efficiency and then the power delivered if it was 100% efficient in the end it's a matter of subtraction with the given power.

A Carnot engine operates between reservoirs at 20 and 200°C. If 10 kW of power is produced, the rejected heat rate is nearest

26.3 kJ/s

20.2 kJ/s

16.3 kJ/s

12.0 kJ/s

 

Above is full question please could help me

What is the relationship between total energy, useful work done and rejected heat?

A Carnot engine operates between reservoirs at 20 and 200°C. If 10 kW of power is produced, the rejected heat rate is nearest

26.3 kJ/s

20.2 kJ/s

16.3 kJ/s

12.0 kJ/s

This forum is actually to help anyone despite there scientific knowledge and in this thread (homework help) we help, but we don't do.

 

In my previous post I try to show you how it is done. Just try it I'm sure you can get it.

If you follow it you should get 16.3

Total energy = work + change in heat .

 

Please help me ...

Just look up the Carnot related formulas. You didn't put any effort in using them as far as I have seen.

Total energy = work + change in heat .

 

Please help me ...

 

And now the equation for efficiency in terms of these? Identify which variable you already know, because you have enough information to solve for the unknown. (which studiot has pointed out)
