Question

A heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between 91.0°C and 325°C. It absorbs 22,200 J of energy per cycle from the hot reservoir. The duration of each cycle is 5.50 s. (a) What is the mechanical power output of this engine? (b) How much energy does it expel in each cycle by heat? Step 1 (a) The temperatures of the reservoirs used by this engine are Tc, the cold reservoir temperature, and Th, the hot reservoir temperature. We first convert Celsius to absolute temperatures. We find Tc = °C + 273 = K and Th = °C + 273 = K.
