The amount of work done by a heat engine equals the amount of thermal energy
a)that equals its efficiency
b)added to the engine plus the waste heat
c) lost from the engine minus the waste heat
d)added to the engine minus the waste heat

The correct answer is option(D).

Explanation:

According to thermodynamics, work done by the system is equal to the difference of the energy added to the system from change in internal energy of the system.

 (First law of thermodynamics)

W = work done by the system

Q = Heat added to the system

= Change heat energy of the system

In an engine the change is internal energy difference can be considered as waste heat. This waste heat means that heat lost by the system.

The amount of work done by a heat engine equals the amount of thermal energy 'added to the engine minus the waste heat'.

Hence,the correct answer is option(D).

1 - wave length

2 - amplitude

3 - crest

4 - trough

duh.

okay i have so many questions. but the big one here is: um wt..f is this mess? ?
