An engine manufacturer makes the claim that the engine they have developed will, on each cycle, take 100 j of heat out of boiling water at 100°c, do mechanical work of 80 j, and exhaust 20 j of heat at 10°c. what, if anything, is wrong with this claim? the efficiency of this engine is greater than the ideal carnot cycle efficiency.

hot reservoir temp 100

cold res temp= 10

eff = (1- cold/hot)x100%

by temperatures eff = (1-10/100)x100 ... by heat transfers eff = (1-20/100)x100

the claims seem to disagree

eff = 90% very high. 80%

a carnot may be about 70% If it is reversible and is between two reservoirs

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
