(Solved): The engine of a large ship does 1.80108J of work with an efficiency of 6.00%. (a) How much heat ...
The engine of a large ship does 1.80×108J of work with an efficiency of 6.00%. (a) How much heat transfer (in J) occurs to the environment? J (b) How many barrels of fuel are consumed, if each barrel produces 6.00×109J of heat transfer when burned? barrels
(b) What must the hot reservoir temperature (in degrees C ) be for a real heat engine that achieves 0.740 of the maximum efficiency, but still has an efficiency of 40.0% (and a cold reservoir at 31,0∘C )? ∘C (c) Does your answer imply practical limits to the efficiency of car gasoline engines?
