Acarnot engine has a power output of 148 kw. the engine operates between two reservoirs at 17◦c and 727◦c. how much thermal energy is absorbed each hour? answer in units of j.

The thermal Energy absorbed each hour = 750420 kJ

Explanation:

Efficiency of a Carnot engine = W/Q = (Th-Tc)/Th Equation 1.

W/Q = (Th-Tc)/Th

making Q the subject of the equation above,

Q = W(Th)/(Th-Tc) Equation 2

Where Q = input power, W = output power, Th = temperature of the hot reservoir, Tc = Temperature of the cold reservoir.

Given: W= 148 kW, Th = 727 °C = 727 + 273 = 1000 K, Tc = 17  °C =17 + 273 = 290 K.

Substituting these values into equation 2,

Q = 148(1000)/(1000-290)

Q = 148000/710

Q = 208.45 kw

The thermal Energy absorbed each hour = 208.45 kW × 3600 s

The thermal Energy absorbed each hour = 750420 kJ

a, c, d, e are all applying about success strategies.

the answer is neither ball has a charge.

because if they were both positively charged, they will repel each other.

if they were positively and negatively charged, they will seek.
