car engine?

Note :- Since we only answer up to 3 sub-parts, we’ll answer the first 3. Please resubmit the
question and specify the other subparts (up to 3) you'd like answered.
Given data,
Temperature of the source i.e. temperature of the engine = 500°C
Temperature of the sink i.e. temperature of exhaust = 50°C
Step 2
Formula used to solve the problem :
Efficiency of Carnot engine is given by as following:-
n=1 -
...(1)
where, T=temperature of the source
T2=temperature of sin k
Step 3
PART (a) :
Efficiency of modern cars :-
In today's modern world gasoline engine cars have efficiency up-to
50%, while normal budget cars engine have efficiency in a range of 20% - 40%. Where, efficiency
refers, how much total fuel energy converted into work by the engine of the car.
PART (b) : Efficiency of the given car's engine is : Using (1)
n=1 - +
where, T=500°C = 773 K
T2=50°C = 323 K
theref ore, n=1 –
=0. 58
=58%
Answer : Therefore, efficiency of the given car's engine is 58%.
Step 4
PART (c) : To gain 100% efficiency all the heat must be converted into heat by the engine of the
car. But in the real world it is not possible at all, because the parts of engine have some friction
and due to that heat will be produced which leads to prohibit 100% efficiency.
Answer : To gain 100% efficiency all the heat must be converted into heat by the engine of the car.
