station operates with superheated steam at 300 °C
(Th=573 K) and discharges the waste heat into the
environment at 20 °C (T = 303 K). Consider that
there is a efficiency loss due to mechanical friction
is 4%.
(ii) Internal energy of a O₂ molecule is U-6.235
J/mol. Then, the oxygen molecule is exhibited a
symmetric vibration of conservative type of forces
with complete reversibility. Calculate its enthalpy.
