Problem 21E

You design an engine that takes in 1.50 × 104 J of heat at 650 K in each cycle and rejects heat at a temperature of 350 K. The engine completes 240 cycles in 1 minute. What is the theoretical maximum power output of your engine, in horsepower Section 20.7 Entropy

ANSWER:

Solution 21E

Step 1:

        Heat absorbed QH = 1.5x104J

        Temperature at hot reservoir TH = 650K        

        Temperature at cold reservoir TC = 350K

        No of cycles completed = 240

        Time taken t = 1 min or 60s
