Question: In one cycle, a heat engine absorbs 1 . 6 8 kJ from a hot reservoir at 2 7 7 C and expels 1 .

In one cycle, a heat engine absorbs 1.68 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277C and expels 1.24 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27C.
(a)
What is the engine's thermal efficiency (in percent)?
%
(b)
How much work is done by the engine (in J) in each cycle?
J
(c)
What is the engine's power output (in kW) if each cycle lasts 0.301 s?
kW
PA =1.01106 Pa,
PB =5.10105 Pa,
and
PC =2.02105 Pa.
(a) Find the volumes VA and VB.
VA= m3VB= m3
(b) Find the work done in each process of the cycle and the total work done for the whole cycle.
WAB= JWBC= JWCD= JWDA= JWtot= J
(c) Find the change in thermal energy during the constant-volume process BC.
J
