Question
An engine is found to have an efficiency of 0.40. If it does $200 \mathrm{J}$ of work per cycle, what are the corresponding quantities of heat absorbed and discharged?
Step 1
4 and the work done as 200 J. We know that efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed. Mathematically, this can be represented as: \[ \text{Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Work Done}}{\text{Heat Absorbed}} \] Show more…

4.) An engine with 20% efficiency does 100 J of work in each cycle. (a) How much heat is absorbed in each cycle? (b) How much heat is rejected in each cycle?
If an engine does $200 \mathrm{~J}$ of net work and exhausts $800 \mathrm{~J}$ of heat per cycle, what is its thermal efficiency?
