c) A heat engine produces 30, 000 J of mechanical work per second of operation. If its efficiency is 25% how much heat is discharged from this engine per second?
Added by Mathieu S.
Step 1
We know the efficiency of the heat engine is 25%, which means that 25% of the heat input is converted into mechanical work, and the remaining 75% is discharged as waste heat. Show more…
