Problem 19 Easy Difficulty

A Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at
620 $\mathrm{K}$ takes in 550 $\mathrm{J}$ of heat at this temperature in each cycle
and gives up 335 $\mathrm{J}$ to the low-temperature reservoir. (a) How much mechanical work does the engine perform during each
cycle? (b) What is the temperature of the low-temperature
reservoir' (c) What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle"

Answer

(a) $W=215 \mathrm{J}$
(b) $T_{C}=378 \mathrm{K}$
(c) ecarnot $=39 \%$

but told the cardinal engine, whose high temperature reservoir is at 620 Calvin takes and 550 tools of heat at this temperature and each cycle, and gives up 335 jewels to the low temperature reservoir. First, we want to know how much mechanical work does the engine performed during the cycle we're giving our high temperature are heat in and are out. We know that the work output is just the heat and minus the heat out. That gives us 215. Jules. They want to know what is the temperature of the low temperature reservoir. But we have the relationship between the heat in and heat out and the temperatures and so minus the heat out divided by the N equals minus the ratio of the temperature of the cold to the temperature of the hot. And so the temperature of the cold reservoir equals. They eat out, divided by the heat and divided by the temperature of the times, the temperature of their hot reservoir Fucking in our numbers, we get 378 Calvin and finally, why I know what is the thermal efficiency of the cycle well for carnal cycle. We could get the thermal efficiency if we know the temperatures of the reservoirs. And so the in fresh and sea is just one minus the ratio of the cold reservoir to the temperature of the hot reservoir plugging in our numbers, we get 0.39 or 39%.
