Question

Problem 59GP

A particular car does work at the rate of about 7.0 kJ/s when traveling at a steady 21.8 m/s along a level road. This is the work done against friction. The car can travel 17 km on 1.0 L of gasoline at this speed (about 40 mi/gal ). What is the minimum value for TH if TL is 25°C? The energy available from 1.0 L of gas is 3.2*107 J.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 15 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 59GPA particular car does work at the rate of about 7.0 kJ/s when traveling at a steady 21.8 m/s along a level road. This is the work done against friction. The car can travel 17 km on 1.0 L of gasoline at this speed (about 40 mi/gal ). What is the minimum value for TH if TL is 25°C? The energy available from 1.0 L of gas is 3.2*107 J.
From the textbook chapter The Laws of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
