Answer #1

Dear student,

Inorder to calculate entropy change of hot reservoir and environment surrounding. We need to know the heat extrated(lost from hot reservoir) and heat rejected (head added to cold reservoir) .

This can be calculated using second law of thermodynamics as shown below.

From the above we see that

Change in entropy of hot reservoir + Change in entropy of cold reservoir = 0

Therefore entropy change of carnot cycle is zero.

We have a Carnot engine operating between a hot reservoir A and a cold reservoir B. The work produced in the engine is used to power a flywheel. The hot reservoir is boiling water at p0 = 1 bar and Ta = 373K. The cold reservoir is a block of ice at p0 and Tb = 273K (latent heat = 3.3E5 J/kg). For the flywheel we know that Inertiamoment = 2kg m^2, mass = 6kg, c = 418J/kg K. Final...

The hot reservoir for a Carnot engine has a temperature of 933 K, while the cold reservoir has a temperature of 326 K. The heat input for this engine is 7160 J. The 326-K reservoir also serves as the hot reservoir for a second Carnot engine. This second engine uses the rejected heat of the first engine as input and extracts additional work from it. The rejected heat from the second engine goes into a reservoir that has a temperature...

Two Carnot engines function in tandem, such that one rejects heat at a certain temperature, which the other absorbs at the same temperature. Let the first engine be A, and the second B. A intakes 13.4 kW of heat at 530K, and B rejects heat at 270K while doing 2.4kW of work. Determine the power output (work) of engine A.

An experimentalist claims that, based on his measurements, a heat engine receives 300 Btu of heat from a source at 900 R, converts 160 Btu of it to work, and rejects the rest as waste heat to a sink at 540 R. Are these measurements reasonable? Why? Draw a sketch showing the direction of work and of heat transfer between the heat engine and the high and low temperature reservoirs. If the heat engine were to operate reversibly between these...
