Question

A Carnot heat engine operates between two temperature reservoirs maintained at 200°C and 20°C, respectively. If the desired output of the heat engine is 15 kW, determine a) the heat transfer from the high temperature reservoir, the heat transfer to the low temperature reservoir, and c) draw the cycle on a P-v diagram if v1=v2/3=v3/4=v4/2, labeling all values and states. TH=200°C QH H.E. W=15kW QL TL=20°C

Step 1

The high temperature reservoir is at 200°C, so we need to convert it to Kelvin by adding 273.15. T_high = 200°C + 273.15 = 473.15 K The low temperature reservoir is at 20°C, so we need to convert it to Kelvin as well. T_low = 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15 K Show more…
