- Consider the process shown below. During steps AB and BC, 3600 J and 2400 J of heat, respectively, are added to the system. (a) Find the work done in each of the processes AB, BC, AD, and DC. (b) Find the internal energy change in processes AB and BC. (c) Find the internal energy difference between states C and A (d) Find the total heat added in the ADC process. (e) From the information given, can you find the heat added in process AD? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAn electrical power station uses 1.58 x 10-4 J of heat input with an efficiency of 35.7%. (a) How much work is done? (b) How much waste heat is produced by the station? (c) What is the ratio of waste heat to work output? waste heat work outputarrow_forwardHeating The amount of chemical potential energy stored in one gallon of heating oil is approximately 130 MJ. This is the amount of energy released as heat during combustion. (Note: 1.0 kWh = 3600 kW-sec = 3600 kJ = 3.6 MJ. Verify this equivalency and use it to answer the following question.) a. Suppose that during the winter, heating your home with oil may require an average of 6 gallons of oil per day. Assuming that to be the case, what is the average daily energy consumption? (Express your answer in kWh.) b. If the cost of heating oil is $3.00/gallon, what is the daily cost to heat your home? Use this information to find the cost of heating with oil in units of cents/kWh.arrow_forward
- A series of thermodynamic processes is shown in the pV-Diagram (see figure on the side). In process ab, 150J of heat are added to the system, and in process bd, 600 J of heat are added. Find a) internal energy change in process ab; b) the internal energy change in process abd; and c) the total heat added in process acd.arrow_forwardA heat engine extracts 59 kJkJ from the hot reservoir and exhausts 32 kJkJ into the cold reservoir. What is the work done? What is the efficiency?arrow_forwardplease answer the following As a gasoline engine is running, an amount of gasoline containing 12,000 J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 4,000 J of work. What is the engine's efficiency (in percent)? The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 4,300°F (2,600 K). The waste heat from the engine flows into air at about 88°F (304 K). What is the Carnot efficiency (in percent) of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures?arrow_forward
- mmh One ounce of a well-known breakfast cereal contains 110 Calories (1 food Calorie = 4186 J). If 2.0% of this energy could be converted by a weight lifter's body into work done in lifting a barbell, *53. what is the heaviest barbell that could be lifted a distance of 2.1 m?arrow_forwardAnswer isnt -15arrow_forward27 J of heat energy is transferred into an ideal gas and 46 J of work is done on the gas. What is the change in thermal energy, in Joules? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forward
- A closed system undergoes a process during which 600 kJ of heat is added to the system and the stored energy increases by 1800 kJ. Calculate the work done.arrow_forwardIn a certain process, the energy of the system decreases by 250 kJ. The process involves 480 kJ of work done on the system. Find the amount of heat Q transferred in this process. Express your answer numerically in kilojoules. Make your answer positive if the heat is transferred into the system; make it negative if the heat is transferred into the surroundings.arrow_forwardSuppose you spend 30.0 minutes on a stair- climbing machine, climbing at a rate of 90.0 steps per minute, with each step 8.00 inches high. If you weigh 150. lb and the machine reports that 600. kcal have been burned at the end of the workout, what efficiency is the machine using in obtaining this result? If your actual efficiency is 0.18, how many kcal did you actually burn?arrow_forward
