A 37 percent efficient engine loses 400 J of heat during each cycle. What work is done, and how much heat is absorbed in each cycle?
Added by Vanessa G.
Step 1
We know the engine is 37% efficient, which means that 37% of the heat absorbed is converted into work. Show more…

An engine with an efficiency of 0.30 absorbs $500 \mathrm{J}$ of heat per cycle. (a) How much work does it perform per cycle? (b) How much heat does it discharge per cycle?
Each cycle, a certain heat engine expels $250 \mathrm{~J}$ of heat when you put in $325 \mathrm{~J}$ of heat. Find the efficiency of this engine and the amount of work you get out of the $325 \mathrm{~J}$ heat input.
