- A copper rod of cross-sectional area 5.0 cm2 and length 5.0 m conducts heat from a heat reservoir at 373 K to one at 273 K. What is the time rate of change of the universe's entropy for this process?arrow_forwardA Carnot engine has an efficiency of 0.60. When the temperature of its cold reservoir the efficiency drops to 0.55. If initially Tc=27, determine (a) the constant value of Th and (b) the final value of Tc.arrow_forwardConsider cyclic processes completely characterized by each of the following net energy inputs and outputs. In each case, the energy transfers listed are the only ones occurring. Classify each process as (a) possible, (b) impossible according to the first law of thermodynamics, (c) impossible according to the second law of thermodynamics, or (d) impossible according to both the first and second laws. (i) Input is 5 J of work, and output is 4 J of work. (ii) Input is 5 J of work, and output is 5 J of energy transferred by heat. (iii) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by electrical transmission, and output is 6 J of work. (iv) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by heat, and output is 5 J of energy transferred by heat. (v) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by heat, and output is 5 J of work. (vi) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by heat, and output is 3 J of work plus 2 J of energy transferred by heat.arrow_forward
- Two moles of a monatomic ideal gas such as oxygen is compressed adiabatically and reversibly from a state (3 atm, 5 L) to a state with a pressure of 4 atm. (a) Find the volume and temperature of the final state. (b) Find the temperature of the initial state. (c) Find work done by the gas in the process. (d) Find the change in internal energy in the process. Assume Cv=5R and Cp=Cv+R for the diatomic ideal gas in the conditions given.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true for the entropy change of a system that undergoes a reversible, adiabatic process? (a) S 0 (b) S = 0 (c) S 0arrow_forwardImagine a Carnot heat pump operates between an outside temperature of 0 °C and an inside temperature of 20.0 °C . What is the work needed if the heat delivered to the inside of the house is 30.0 kJ?StrategyBecause the heat pump is assumed to be a Carnot pump, its performance coefficient is given by KP = Qh /W = Th /(Th − Tc). Thus, we can find the work W from the heat delivered Qh.arrow_forward
- Calculate the work output of a Carnot engine when 4000 J of heat is transferred to the engine for the following scenario: The 4000 J of heat is first transferred between hot reservoir (600 K) and an intermediate reservoir (250 K) without work output, followed by the transfer to the cold reservoir (100 K) where work output occurs. * hint: “work output” and “heat transfer” is linked by the efficiency of the Carnot enginearrow_forwardAn ideal Carnot engine is operated between a hot and a cold reservoir. The temperaturedifference between the two reservoirs is 284°C. If the efficiency of this ideal engine is 24.0%,find the temperature of the cold reservoir in degrees Celsius.arrow_forwardA gas undergoes isobaric process with a constant pressure of 2000 Pa. If the heat of 800 J is added to the process, the volume expands from 0.120 m3 to 0.200 m3. What is the change in its internal energy? An engine absorbs 500 J of heat and reject 100 J of heat to cold reservoir in each cycle. What is its efficiency? From Question 2, how much work does the engine do in three cycles? A refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 2.0. In each cycle it absorbs 3.4×104 J of heat from the cold reservoir. During each cycle, how much heat is released to the high-temperature reservoir? During running, you lost 4.0×104 J of heat, and your internal energy also decreased by 1.6×105 J. How much work did you do in the match?arrow_forward
