An automobile engine has an efficiency of 22.0% and produces 2510 J of work. How much heat is rejected by the engine

Sagot :

Answer:

If efficiency is .22 then  W = .22 * Q   where Q is the heat input

Heat Input    Q = 2510 / .22 = 11,400 J

Heat rejected = 11.400 - 2510 = 8900  J of heat wasted

Also, 8900 J / (4.19 J / cal) = 2120 cal

An efficiency is the measure of productivity of an engine. The heat rejected by the engine is 8900 Joules.

What is efficiency?

An efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the work done and heat supplied.

Given is the automobile engine has the efficiency 22% and Work done is 2510 Joules.

The efficiency is written as,

η= W / Qs.

The work done is W= Qs - Qr, where Qr is the rejected heat.

The heat rejected can be represented as

Qr = W ( 1/η -1)

Substituting the value into the equation, we get the rejected heat.

Qr = 2510 (1/0.22 -1)

Qr = 8900 Joules.

Thus, the heat rejected by the engine is 8900 Joules.
