A Carnot engine is operated between two heat reservoirs at temperatures of 550 K and 300 K . 1.) If the engine receives 6.70 kJ of heat energy from the reservoir at 550 K in each cycle, how many joules per cycle does it reject to the reservoir at 300 K ? 2.)How much mechanical work is performed by the engine during each cycle?

a) 3654.5 joules per cycle is rejected to the reservoir at 300 K by the Carnot Engine.

b) Mechanical work performed by the engine during each cycle = 3045.5 J = 3.046 KJ

Explanation:

For a Carmot engine,

(Q꜀/T꜀) + (Qₕ/Tₕ) = 0

(Q꜀/T꜀) = - (Qₕ/Tₕ)

Q꜀ = - T꜀ × (Qₕ/Tₕ)

Qₕ = 6.70 KJ

Tₕ = 550 K

Q꜀ = ?

T꜀ = 300 K

Q꜀ = - 300 (6700/550) = - 3654.5 J = - 3.65 KJ

b) Mechanical work done by the Carnot engine is given by

W = |Qₕ| - |Q꜀| = 6700 - 3654.5 = 3045.5 J

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).

the second one and the forth one are in the purple because they are opinions and the rest are in the yellow
